  • To Service Providers. We work with service providers to provide application development, hosting, maintenance, and other services for us. We may transfer, and these service providers may have access to or process, information about you as part of providing those services for us.

We also reserve the right to disclose information about you that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to: (i) take precautions against liability; (ii) protect ourselves or others from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses or activity; (iii) investigate and defend ourselves against any third party claims or allegations; (iv) protect the security or integrity of the Services and any facilities or equipment used to make the Services available; or (v) protect our property or other legal rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement of our agreements), or the rights, property, or safety of others.

Information may be disclosed during due diligence or in preparation for or after an acquisition or merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, financing, reorganization or similar corporate transactions with requirements for the receiving party to maintain the confidentiality of such information, or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.

7 | Our Commitment to Data Security

Jifflenow maintains a comprehensive information security program designed to protect CPI and UPI using administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.

We have measures in place to protect against inappropriate access, loss, misuse, or alteration of Personal Information under our control.

The Jifflenow (and Cvent) security team regularly reviews and updates our security and privacy practices as necessary to help ensure the integrity of our systems and your Personal Information.
