Third-Party Agents or Service Providers

We may transfer Personal Data to third-party agents or service providers who perform functions on our behalf. Where required by the GDPR (or similar international laws), we enter into written agreements with those third-party agents and service providers, requiring them to provide the same level of protection and limiting their use of the data to the specified services provided on our behalf. We take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that third-party agents and service providers process Personal Data in accordance with our privacy obligations and to stop and remediate any unauthorized processing. Under certain circumstances, we may remain liable for the acts of our third-party agents or service providers who perform services on our behalf for their handling of Personal Data that we transfer to them.

Third-Party Data Controllers

In some cases, we may transfer Personal Data to unaffiliated third-party data controllers. These third parties do not act as agents or service providers and are not performing functions on our behalf. We may transfer your Personal Data to third-party data controllers for the purposes described in our Privacy Statement or this Policy. We will only provide your Personal Data to third-party data controllers where you have not opted-out of such disclosures or in the case of sensitive Personal Data, where you have opted-in.
