Unless otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we may also share the information that we have collected from you through the Services for the following purposes:

These third parties provide a variety of services to us including without limitation billing, sales, marketing, advertising, market research, data storage, analysis and processing, identity verification, fraud, and safety protection, legal services, and other functions. We share information from or about you with these third-party providers so that they can perform their services or complete your requests.

  3. Aggregate or Anonymous Information. We may disclose information of Users in the aggregate to third parties, such as businesses that are listed on Empathic.
  4. Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses, or sell some or all of our assets. In such contemplated or actual transactions or where there is any change of control of Empathic, information of Users may be among the shared and/or transferred assets.

If you post content to a third-party service through the Services, that third-party service will also receive that content, which will be visible to anyone that has access to it through that third-party service. Some of our web pages may utilize framing techniques to serve content to you from our third-party partners while preserving the look and feel of the Services. In such cases, please note that the information you provide may be transmitted directly to the identified third-party service partner. If you interact with businesses through Empathic, they will receive whatever information you choose to share with them, for example, the contact information you share through direct messages to the business or your phone number if you call the business.
4. DATA SECURITY

Empathic leverages leading cloud hosting and security providers to enable enterprise-level security to protect the Personal Information submitted to us through the Services, both during transmission and after we receive it. For example, the Services use (i) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of Personal Information; (ii) industry-leading managed web application firewall to prevent hostile attacks; and (iii) advanced distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation to protect against security vulnerabilities and DDoS attacks.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use leading security technology to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, and except as expressly required by law, we are not responsible for the theft, destruction, loss, or inadvertent disclosure of your Personal Information, other information or content.

Upon closing your account, we will remove certain public posts from view and/or dissociate them from your account profile, but we may retain information about you for the purposes authorized under this Privacy Policy unless prohibited by law. For example, we may retain information to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Services, collect any fees owed, enforce our Terms of Use, comply with legal obligations, and/or for any other purpose otherwise permitted by law that we deem necessary in our sole discretion.
