BK Medical reserves the right to disclose personal information to third parties where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to comply with a judicial proceeding or legal process, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our customers, the public, or BK Medical. BK Medical reserves the right to transfer any information it has about you in the event of a merger, or a sale or transfer of all or a portion of its business or assets, pursuant to the terms of the transaction. In addition, we may disclose information about you to a third party at your request, or if you consent to the disclosure.
