Aggregate or de-identified information

We may use your personal information to create aggregate statistics and de-identified data.  We may use, share and sell this information for any purpose.

We may disclose personal information to third parties in connection with the proposed or actual financing, securitization, insuring, sale, assignment or other disposal of all or part of Followchain or our business or assets.  These third parties may use the information, for the purposes of evaluating and/or completing the proposed transaction. We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that our successors or assigns process the information we transfer to them in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

5. How we store and protect personal information

Personal information is maintained on our servers (or those of our service providers).  In an effort to protect your personal information against unauthorized access or disclosure.  For example, accounts you create on our Sites are password protected. In identified parts of our Sites, we use SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions. We limit access to personal information to employees, representatives and service providers who require access in connection with their job responsibilities.  Please note it is not possible to transmit data with absolute security over the internet, and we cannot and do not guarantee the security of your personal information.
