Occasionally NAKIVO may use agents or contractors who will have access to your Personal Information to perform services for NAKIVO (such as database maintenance), however, they are required by us to keep the information confidential and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services for NAKIVO. In addition, NAKIVO may also share aggregate information about its customers with advertisers, business partners, and other third parties.
