Angeion shares your personal information only when it is necessary to offer the Services, legally required, or permitted by you. We share personal information with third parties as follows:
- Service providers: We share personal information to third party service providers to help us bring you the Services. For example, we use Amazon Web Services as a hosting provider. We Parties such as this act as our data processors. They have access to personal information for a limited purpose and limited period of time and we implement contractual protections limiting the use of that personal information to the provision of services to Angeion.

We have implemented technical and organizational measures we consider appropriate to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your personal information. However, we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will never be defeated, and information disclosed in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy (for example, because of unauthorized acts by third parties that violate applicable law).
