5. Disclosure of Personal Information
Sola Caritas may disclose Personal Information of Users to organizations that perform services on behalf of Sola Caritas ("Service Providers") as well as to the charities and corporate partners that authorize and/or who have a presence on the Portal. Personal Information will only be provided to Service Providers and the charities and corporate partners under the instruction of Sola Caritas and, with respect to that information, to act in a manner consistent with the relevant principles articulated in this Policy. However, Sola Caritas bears no responsibility for any other use of such Personal Information by the Service Providers and charities and corporate partners.
Please note that there are circumstances where the use or disclosure of Your Personal Information may be justified or permitted or where Sola Caritas is obliged to disclose information without consent. Such circumstances may include:

(b) where Sola Caritas believes, upon reasonable grounds, that it is necessary to protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of an identifiable person or group;

6. Maintenance and Security of Personal Information
Sola Caritas retains Personal Information about Users as long as Sola Caritas believes it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and in accordance with applicable law. Currently, Sola Caritas holds the Personal Information in the City of Spring Valley, California. Personal Information about Users that is maintained on Our systems is protected using industry standard security measures. However, We cannot guarantee that the information submitted to, maintained on, or transmitted from Our systems will be completely secure and transmission of information over the Internet is susceptible to possible loss, misrouting, interception and misuse.

7. Access to Personal Information
Sola Caritas provides individuals with access to Personal Information held about them.
If an individual believes that his or her Personal Information on file is not correct, he or she may request an update of that information by sending a request to the person indicated below. Sola Caritas reserves the right not to change any Personal Information but will append any alternative text the individual concerned believes appropriate. An individual may also request that Sola Caritas delete an individual's Personal Information from Sola Caritas' system and records. However, due to technical constraints and the fact that Sola Caritas backs up its systems, Personal Information may continue to reside in Sola Caritas' systems after deletion. Individuals, therefore, should not expect that their Personal Information would be completely removed from Sola Caritas' systems in response to an accepted request for deletion.
Sola Caritas reserves the right to decline access to Personal Information where the information requested:
(a) would disclose the Personal Information of another individual or of a deceased individual;
(b) would disclose business confidential information that may harm Sola Caritas or the competitive position of a third party;

(g) does not exist, is not held, or cannot be found by Sola Caritas.
Where information will not or cannot be disclosed, the individual making the request will be provided with the reasons for non-disclosure. Where information will be disclosed, Sola Caritas will endeavour to provide the information in question within a reasonable time and no later than thirty (30) days following the request.
