5.5 With Your Consent
We may share your information with third parties when you explicitly consent or direct us to do so.
6. Email and Marketing Communications
If you join one of our email lists, we send you editorial content and promotional messages, which may include advertising and affiliate links that pay us. You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in any message, or by writing to the address in the Contact Us section. We honor opt-out requests promptly; automated systems may take a few days to process one, and messages already queued may still arrive during that window. Opting out of marketing does not stop messages we need to send you about a transaction, a services engagement, a payment, or a legal obligation.
We measure whether our messages are opened and which links are clicked, and we use that information to decide what to send and to whom. We may segment or suppress lists on that basis. We do not sell our email lists. We use third-party email service providers to store list data and deliver messages, and their handling of that data is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Email is not a secure channel: do not send account numbers, government identifiers, passwords, or other sensitive information to us by email.
If we operate a text-message or push-notification program, you consent to receive those messages when you opt in, message and data rates may apply, and you can stop them by replying STOP or by changing your device settings.

We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

| Website analytics | Up to 26 months (Google Analytics default) |
| Marketing communications | Until you unsubscribe + 1 year |
| Support tickets | 5 years |

When you follow a link from our websites to a third party, including a compensated or affiliate link, that third party may receive information such as your IP address, device and browser details, the page you came from, and identifiers that let it attribute the visit to us. What it does with that information is governed by its own privacy policy, not this one. We do not control third-party sites, apps, or forms, or the data practices of the networks that measure those visits, and we are not responsible for them. Review the privacy policy of any site or provider before submitting information to it.
