Our Service Providers will be given access to your information as is reasonably necessary to provide the Service under reasonable confidentiality terms.

Third parties (such as NextRoll) may place cookies on your browser in order to serve targeted advertising and for measurement and analytics purposes.

If we should do so, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy policy (including this one), unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise. Also, in the unlikely event that another company acquires us, or substantially all of our assets, that company most likely would want to acquire our customer information.
