7. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below.

Third-Party Service Providers. We use third-party services to perform certain functions on our platform. Some of these functions and services are Building and hosting the platform, processing payments (Stripe), sending emails (MailChimp), and analyzing data (Google Analytics).

These third-party services and tools may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but may not use that information for other purposes. Information shared with these third-party services will be treated and stored in accordance with their respective privacy policies and our privacy policy. Business Transfers. If Compfeed creates, merges with, or is acquired by another entity, your information will likely be transferred. Compfeed will send you an email or post a prominent notice on our platform before your information becomes subject to another privacy policy.

Protection of Compfeed and Others.

This notification will be made through the means of contact that the user on our platform has provided. We will take all reasonable measures to protect the information and remedy any situation that compromises the security of your data.

10. PROTECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We grant access to your personal information only to those outside persons or services that have a legitimate need to know it and in accordance with our privacy policy. We adhere to industry-recognized security standards to protect your personal information during transmission and in storage. However, it is important to note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is foolproof and 100% secure. Therefore, while we at Compfeed strive to implement commercially viable data protection methods, we cannot ensure the absolute security of your personal information. We undertake not to sell, distribute or transfer your personal data to unauthorized third parties unless we have your explicit consent or are required by law to do so.
