We may disclose personally identifiable information to parties as we in our sole discretion believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity.

Due to the nature of our business model, when an affiliated business is associated with your transaction, we may share information that is related to such transaction with that affiliated business. Mytifly may share aggregated demographic information with business partners.
In some cases, Mytifly may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, member information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred.
