As a small company, we rely on providers to provide us with specialized services. When doing so, we focus on sharing only the necessary data and implement appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data.

To ensure that we deliver you the services in an effective way, we share your personal data with following categories of third parties:
- Providers of technical and operational support services like website hosting and maintenance, email provisioning, calendars, payment processing, back-ups, customer relationship management, electronic signatures of documents etc.

- Those organisations involved in a merger or acquisition, or who are involved in a corporate reorganization, joint venture, assignment, sale, or transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business (including in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceedings).
