How we share personal information with third parties

We do not sell, lease, or rent personal information. We disclose your personal information in order to provide our services or products or to communicate with you. Here are the types of third parties and why we disclose personal information:

Third party service providers

We engage third party service providers to support our business operations, including the provision of our services or products or communications with you. For instance, we engage public cloud provider(s) to host information submitted as a result of using our services or products. Such third parties process received information under appropriate instructions and only as necessary to support and facilitate use of personal data as described in section 1 of this Privacy Notice. They are contractually required to keep information confidential and secure and shall not use received information for any other purpose than to carry out the service they are performing for us.

Business transfers

In the event we decide to sell, buy, merge, or otherwise reorganise our business, we may need to disclose some of your personal data to a prospective or actual purchaser. We will seek appropriate protection of your personal data should such a situation arise.

How we keep personal information secure

We take security of personal information seriously. To prevent unauthorised access, prevent unauthorised disclosure, maintain data accuracy and to ensure appropriate use of information we apply reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards. We and our third-party service providers keep your personal information, if necessary, to provide our service or products or as otherwise necessary, to perform our obligations. For example, we keep your personal information for the duration of any contractual relationship and after the end of that relationship, if necessary, to administer our business, perform our obligations and to protect our business from legal claims.
