Imprivata may disclose personal data to approved third party data processors retained or contracted by Imprivata, such as business partners and subcontractors, including, without limitation, affiliates, vendors, service providers and suppliers. We may share certain personal information with third parties who conduct marketing studies and data analytics, including those that provide tools or code which facilitates our review and management of our web site and services, such as Google Analytics or similar services from other providers. Details on how Imprivata shares personal information is described below:
- Agents and Service providers:
We contract with other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and may need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Examples may include removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. We may also provide your personal information to agents who will use it to verify aggregate usage data that we provide to our partners.

Personal Data may also be disclosed by you through the Sites, on message boards, chat, profile pages, and other services to which you are able to post information and materials (including, without limitation, the Imprivata Support and Learning Center and the Social Media Pages). This information can appear in public ways, such as through search engines or other publicly available platforms and can be “crawled” or searched by third parties. Please do not post any information that you do not want to reveal to the public at large. - Promotional offers:
We may send offers to certain customers on behalf of other businesses with whom we have a partnership. However, when we do so, we do not give the other business your personal information. - Business Transfers:
In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets or businesses. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that are transferred. Moreover, if Imprivata, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired then customer information would be one of the assets that are transferred. - Profiling and Automated Decision-making:
Imprivata combines data obtained by the methods described in Section 3 to help us determine what products and services might be of interest to you when you might be ready to make a purchase based on repeated interaction with Imprivata and certain third party websites, emails, and content.

We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with that law; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Imprivata, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. - With your consent:
Except as set forth above, you will be notified when Imprivata intends to share your personal information with third parties to obtain any additional consent that may required. - Protection of Imprivata and Others:
