Customer Information.

Generally, we disclose the information we collect from and about our customers to provide our Services, to communicate with customers, to advertise our Services, to facilitate changes to or transfers of our business, as required by law, or with customers’ consent. For instance, we may share the information we collect as follows:

• With service providers who perform services for us (including cloud services, email communications, data storage, sales, marketing, investigations, payment processing, customer support, and bill collection);
• With third party websites and applications that link with our Services (in some cases, linking Dataminr accounts with a third-party site or app will require that the customer grant Dataminr access to their account and data on that third-party service);
• If we believe disclosure is necessary and appropriate to prevent physical, financial, or other harm, including to protect against fraud or credit risk;
• To legal, governmental, or judicial authorities, as required by those authorities and applicable laws, or in relation to a legal activity, such as in response to a subpoena or investigation of suspected illicit or illegal activities, or where we believe in good faith that users may be engaged in illicit or illegal activities;
• In connection with, or during negotiations for, an acquisition, merger, asset sale, or other similar business transfer that involves all or substantially all of our assets where personal data is shared as part of the business assets (provided that the recipient agrees not to use or disclose such personal data in a manner that is inconsistent with this Policy without customer consent); and
• With customers’ consent or at their direction, such as when a customer chooses to share information with Dataminr or publicly post content and reviews.

These third parties agree to receive and use such information solely to provide services to us or on our behalf. We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any information we collect from our customers with third parties for their promotional purposes.

Information From Social Media and Other Sites.

To provide our Services, we regularly disclose publicly-available information gathered on social media and other sites to our customers.

• View and edit your Dataminr account preferences, including the way you receive our Services.

Social Media Users Connecting to Dataminr Through Social Media Sites.

Dataminr may obtain social media users’ publicly-available information to the extent such users choose to connect with Dataminr through social media. We only obtain private social media information if the social media user has granted Dataminr access to their profile (e.g., by adding Dataminr on a social media site). Social media users who do not want their data processed by Dataminr can make their account or posts private or remove Dataminr from their followers. Dataminr will not share with its customers any social media post that has been removed or marked private.
