Policy, please do not use the HowToBreak80.com site.
HowToBreak80.com may occasionally update this

will seek a customer’s prior consent, by email, for
any new uses or proposed disclosures of information
collected from the customer prior to the change.

of changes to this policy that will affect

In
certain circumstances, however, HowToBreak80.com
will not inform and obtain the consent of the
customer, such as in connection with an
investigation of a breach of an agreement,
contravention of laws, an emergency where the life,
health or security of an individual is threatened,
the collection of a debt or in compliance with the
request of a law enforcement agency or a court
order.
