However, we may share with third party sites (e.g. Facebook, Google, Instagram and Twitter) some data, with appropriate security measures, to show you relevant advertising on third party sites, as set out above.
Sometimes the Company uses third parties to process your information on our behalf, for example to provide analysis. The Company requires these third parties to comply strictly with its instructions and the Company requires that they do not use your personal information for their own business purposes, unless you have explicitly consented to the use of your personal information in this way.
For some services, we might use the help of a third-party. A third-party is an entity that is involved in some way in an interaction that is primarily between two other entities. All of our third-party providers comply with the GDPR law.
