We share your data under the following circumstances:

- With Technical Service Providers: We share data with trusted vendors who perform operational services on our behalf (such as cloud hosting, secure database management, customer relationship management tools, and SMS/email delivery providers). These vendors are contractually bound to safeguard your data.
- For Legal Protection & Regulatory Compliance: We may disclose information if required by court order, subpoena, government inquiry, or when necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of Home Services OH LLC, our users, or the public.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred as a business asset.
