In support of these uses, PUG may use

PUG occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services
on our behalf, such as Web site hosting, packaging, mailing and delivering
prizes, answering member’s questions about products and services, and sending
information about our products, special offers, and other new services. We will
only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the
service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information
and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
PUG may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the
good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of
the law or comply with legal process served on PUG or the Site; (b) protect and
defend the rights or property of PUG and our family of Web sites; or (c) act in
urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of PUG volunteers or agents,
members of PUG products or services, or members of the public.
