General Commitment
At Creature, your privacy isn't just a priority; it's a commitment.

We will not sell or share your information with any third parties unless in anonymized and aggregated form. However, we may disclose your information if required by law or in response to a valid legal request or if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Creature, our customers, or others.
