  2. Use of Personally Identifiable Information.

    Performant Financial Corporation will not sell or otherwise transfer or disclose personally identifiable information to third parties not affiliated with Performant Financial Corporation without the your prior consent (except as may be required by law, such as a court-ordered subpoena, search warrant, or other court order; or required by exigent circumstances). That means that Performant Financial Corporation will never disclose your name, e-mail address, street address or phone number to third parties not affiliated with Performant Financial Corporation without your consent. We may use your Personally Identifiable Information only to tailor your experience at our Site, and to compile and display content and information that we think you might be interested in and to display content according to such preferences.
