Third-party service providers. We rely on third-party service providers to perform a variety of services on our behalf. In so doing, we may need to share your personal information with them. Please note that we provide our service providers with only the personal information they need to perform their services and we require that they protect this information and not use it for any other purpose.

For example, we may rely on a service provider to:

• Host our sites and deliver our email and mobile messages
• Contact contest winners, manage payments or take other actions on our behalf
• Analyze data, sometimes combined with other sources, to send more targeted communications to you

In addition, we may also rely on a service provider to:

• Combine personal information about you that Darice has collected with personal information about you that our business partner has collected so we can jointly send tailored promotional communications to you. In such instances, our business partner will not have direct access to any information we share about you with the service provider, and only the service provider will be allowed to use the combined set of information to send you joint communications that we hope will be of interest to you. If you prefer not to receive these joint communications, you can always opt out by following the instructions provided in any such communication or by logging in to your account on Darice.com and changing your communication settings.
