Business Transitions or Structure Changes

In the event that 50+ World undergoes any change in business structure such as a merger, acquisition, amalgamation, or the sale of all or part of its assets to a third party, or the unlikely event of bankruptcy, it is highly likely that Advertiser's and Subscribers information will be a part of the assets.

50+ World may disclose your personal information to third parties during the due diligence process preceding such a transaction, provided that the other party is bound by an appropriate confidentiality agreement. Subject to a court order, at the time of such merger, amalgamation, acquisition, sale or bankruptcy, 50+ World would contractually require any resulting entity that obtains your personal information to comply with its obligations regarding your personal information, including the applicable terms and conditions of this Privacy Statement.

Should any such event occur, all Advertisers and Subscribers will be sent a notification email, at which time they may choose to unsubscribe and/or cancel their accounts, or disallow the transfer of their personal information.
