For example, when you verify your phone number for use with Hammer’s software products, Hammer shares your phone number with a telephony provider to deliver text messages to you.
It may also be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for Hammer to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.
We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.

You may inquire about what personally identifiable information we have on file about you by sending an e-mail to support@hammer-corp.com. You may likewise request via e-mail that we delete or correct any such information we have on file.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Hammer may update its Privacy Policy from time to time. When we change the policy in a material way, a notice will be e-mailed to you or posted on our website along with the updated Privacy Policy.

Third parties cannot collect any other personally identifiable information from Hammer’s websites unless you provide it to them directly.
Your California Privacy Rights
California law permits residents of California to request certain details about how their information is shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes. Hammer does not share personally identifiable information with third parties for their marketing purposes unless you provide us with consent to do so.
