4. Complying with Law, Responding to Legal Requests, Preventing Harm and Protecting our Rights.
We may disclose your information to courts, law enforcement, governmental or public authorities, tax authorities, or authorized third parties, if and to the extent we are required or permitted to do so by law or where disclosure is reasonably necessary: (i) to comply with our legal obligations, (ii) to comply with a valid legal request or to respond to claims asserted against RV Solutions, (iii) to respond to a valid legal request relating to a criminal investigation to address alleged or suspected illegal activity, or to respond to or address any other activity that may expose us, you, or any other of our users to legal or regulatory liability (more information on RV Solutions’s Law Enforcement Guidelines here), (iv) to enforce and administer our agreements with Users, or (v) to protect the rights, property or personal safety of RV Solutions, its employees, its Users, or Users of the public. For example, if permitted due to the forgoing circumstances, Partner tax information may be shared with tax authorities or other governmental agencies.
Where appropriate, we may notify Users about legal requests unless: (i) providing notice is prohibited by the legal process itself, by court order we receive, or by applicable law, or (ii) we believe that providing notice would be futile, ineffective, create a risk of injury or bodily harm to an individual or group, or create or increase a risk of fraud upon or harm to RV Solutions, our Users, or expose RV Solutions to a claim of obstruction of justice.
For jurisdictions where RV Solutions facilitates the collection and remittance of Taxes where legally permissible according to applicable law, we may disclose Partners’ and Guests’ information about transactions, bookings, Accommodations and occupancy Taxes to the applicable tax authority, such as Partner and Guest names, Listing addresses, transaction dates and amounts, tax identification number(s), the amount of taxes received (or due) by Partners from Guests, and contact information.
In jurisdictions where RV Solutions facilitates or requires a registration, notification, permit, or license application of a Partner with a local governmental authority through RV Solutions in accordance with local law, we may share information of participating Partners with the relevant authority, both during the application process and, periodically thereafter, such as the Partner’s full name and contact details, Accommodation address, tax identification number, Listing details, and number of nights booked.
