HOW INFORMATION IS SHARED OR DISCLOSED

We do not share or disclose your Personal Information except in these limited circumstances:

  1. When You Agree or Direct Us to Share: You may also authorize us to share your information with other third parties. We will not be liable for any losses or damages due to breach of privacy by any third party, in respect of information agreed to or directed to be shared with a third party. 
  2. For External Processing: We may transfer information to our corporate affiliates, service providers, and other partners who process the information for us, based on our instructions which will be in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. To the extent possible, this information will not contain Personal Information which is relatable to individual Clients.

Please be aware that our Website may include links to third party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks, or applications. By clicking on those links or enabling those connections you may allow the third party to collect or share data about you (via cookies, plug-ins or otherwise). If you follow a link to a third party website or interact with a third party, please note that the policies of these third parties shall govern your interactions and any data collected. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the collection, retention, use or implementation of privacy policies by third parties.

  1. For Legal Reasons or to Prevent Harm: We may keep or disclose information about you to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, judicial process, or governmental request; to assert legal rights or defend against legal claims or legal demands; or to prevent, detect, or investigate illegal activity, crime, fraud, abuse, violations of our terms, or threats to the security of the Services or the physical safety of any person.

If such disclosure is required, we will notify you of any legal process seeking access to your Personal Information, such as search warrants, court orders, or subpoenas, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so. In cases where a court order specifies a blackout period, we provide delayed notice after the expiry of the blackout period. We may not be able to provide notice in urgent or emergency situations such as those involving a danger of death or serious physical injury to a person. We may share information that is aggregated or de-identified so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify a specific individual. We may disclose such information publicly and to third parties, for example, in public reports about the use of our Website and Services, and to our business partners. 

If we are involved in a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we will take measures to continue to protect the confidentiality of Personal Information and will notify our affected Clients once Personal Information has been transferred to a new entity or as otherwise required by law.

DATA ACCESS

If you object to the use or sharing of your Personal Information, or if you are seeking access to Personal Information, you may notify us by contacting our Privacy Officer. 

Please be aware that we may not be able to provide access to information that is protected by legal privilege, commercial confidentiality, legal investigations, dispute resolution procedures, or that otherwise may be properly withheld by law.

We keep information about you and your use of the Website and Services for as long as necessary for our legitimate business interests, for legal reasons, and to prevent harm, including as described in this Privacy Policy. 

INFORMATION SECURITY

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, and we use various technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security measures to protect Personal Information that you provide to us. We instruct our service providers and employees to comply with this Privacy Policy. We strive to regularly improve the security of our Website and information systems but please note that there is no method of transmitting or storing data that is 100% secure. We may use service providers or partners across the globe and it is always possible that, despite our safeguards, your Personal Information may be accessible to law enforcement, government bodies, or national security authorities of other jurisdictions.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS AND DATA TRANSFERS

We deliver Services to Clients internationally and may transfer Personal Information to/from other countries for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

You agree to this risk when you access our Website and use our Services.

We monitor and analyze the use of our Website and its Services using various free or paid Analytical tools and services. For example, we commonly use the Google Analytics service, offered by Google Inc., to track and support Website traffic and statistics. The free service uses the data we collect to track and monitor the use of our Services as well as to contextualize and personalize the ads of Google’s own advertising network.

You may restrict the access of this service to your Personal Information by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. For more information regarding Google Inc.’s privacy practices, please visit their Privacy & Terms web page.
