Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site.

Disclosure of Personal Information We share the Personal Information we collect with the subsidiaries and affiliates of Uni-Select. Uni-Select will transfer or otherwise disclose the information it collects from Uni-Select Site visitors to employees and independent contractors of Uni-Select, its parent corporation, subsidiaries, affiliates and service providers if the disclosure will enable that party to perform a business, professional, analytical or technical support function for Uni-Select or if required to do so by law.
