Disclosure to Third Parties TNI will not disclose to outside parties any personally identifiable information without your consent, except under the following circumstances: 1. When required by law, 2. When, in TNI's sole discretion, disclosure is necessary to protect the interests or safety of a customer, TNI or third parties; provided, however, that this should not be construed as creating a duty of disclosure under any such circumstances. TNI may use customer/member information to periodically provide customers/members with system information or information about new opportunities or events at TNI. TNI also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that TNI stores or transmits for its customers.

It is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants, or other legal process that TNI in its sole discretion determines to be valid and enforceable; or 3. It is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently obtained by TNI and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime or other matter involving public or private safety; provided, however, that this should not be construed as creating a duty of disclosure under any such circumstances. 4. TNI disclaims any intention to censor, edit, or engage in ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted through its facilities by customers/members or others. TNI will, however, review, delete, or block access to communications that may harm or offend TNI, its customers, members or third parties.
