Disclosure of Your Personal Information
JPI Studios is very concerned about protecting your privacy. As a matter of policy, we do not sell, rent or trade personal information about you to third parties. Your personal information is used to tailor our services to match your interests and to let you know about special offers available through JPI Studios. We may also disseminate aggregate personal information in a non-personally identifiable manner.
JPI Studios does reserve the right to disclose your username, name, address, email, and other personal information in our sole discretion as we believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation for fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other illegal activity as well as dispute resolution and enforcement of our Terms and Conditions.
Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. Therefore, although we make reasonable and good faith efforts to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will remain absolutely private.
Your Password
You may not disclose your JPI Studios password to any third parties. If you lose control of your JPI Studios password, you may lose control over your personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf.

However, we will retain in our files information that you have requested to remove in some circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our User Agreement. Further, such prior information is never completely removed from our databases due to technical constraints and the fact that we back up our systems. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personal information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests.
