Information may be given to third-party contractors or other persons or entities that STX engages in the course of outsourcing certain functions. Information will be shared with such third-party contractors, persons or entities only to the extent reasonably necessary for them to perform services on STX’s behalf and not for any other purpose, and pursuant to reasonable confidentiality obligations. STX may disclose the information if legally required to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental entity or regulatory authority or if STX believes in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or processes, prevent a crime or protect national security.

STX retains your information only as long as is necessary for the purpose for which STX obtained them and any other permitted linked purposes.
