These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose whatsoever. Also, we bind our third-party vendors in a contract to secure your data by putting monetary liabilities and surveillance practices and hence, ensuring a high level of security for your Personal Information.

Some solutions may link you or enable you to obtain certain services from third parties, including for the purpose of making a payment or to share content through social media. When you do so, your Personal Information may be collected by those third parties, and not by us. We recommend that when you obtain such solutions from third parties, you review their privacy policy as the security of your data will be subject to their privacy terms rather than this Privacy Policy.
