By providing PII online, visitors are consenting to this transfer and/or storage of their PII across borders.

I AM C.U.L.T.U.R.E.D. may also disclose PII in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business of the site to which the data relates, in order to respond to requests of government or law enforcement agencies or where this is required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations.
