We ensure that these partners adhere to confidentiality and privacy standards that are consistent with our own policies. While they have access to personal information necessary to perform their functions, they cannot utilize this data for any other purposes.

We carefully select third-party service providers based on their commitment to protecting user data and the security measures they have in place. Any data shared with third parties is limited to what is essential for the specific service being provided.

If SysScout undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, personal information may be transferred as part of that process. In such scenarios, we will provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy. The acquiring entity will be expected to adhere to privacy standards that are in line with what SysScout has committed to its users.

Additionally, should SysScout be involved in any liquidation, bankruptcy, or reorganization proceedings, your personal information could be part of the assets considered. We will ensure that any such transaction aligns with our mission of protecting user data throughout any business transitions.
