6. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

We provide your personal data and the data generated by cookies and the aggregate information to certain third parties as follows.

Vendors and Service Providers.  We provide your data to the vendors and service agencies that we may engage to assist us in providing our services to you.  For example, we use Google Cloud Hosting to host our Site and Services. Such third party entities are obligated to use your personal data solely to provide the services to us.  

Merger or Other Transaction.  We will not sell your personal data to any company or organization except we may transfer your personal data in conjunction with a transaction such as a financing or to a successor entity upon a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization in which Beautiful.ai participates or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Beautiful.ai’s assets to which the Services relate or in the event of a bankruptcy or related or similar proceedings.

To the Customer.  We will share and disclose personal information of Authorized Users with the Customer and otherwise in accordance with the Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Agreement, and in compliance with applicable law and legal process. If you are an Authorized User, please consult with the Customer to learn more about how your information may be used, shared and/or disclosed by us on behalf of the Customer.

To Authorized Users of the Customer Account.  If you request to designate an Authorized User to access and use the Services under your Customer Account, we will share certain information with such Authorized Users depending on the permissions granted to the applicable Authorized User.  In addition, if you are an Authorized User of a Customer’s Account, we may share your information with other Authorized Users of the Customer’s Account depending on the applicable permission settings of Customer’s Account, or otherwise as directed by the Customer. If you are an Authorized User, please consult with the Customer to learn more about how your information may be used, shared and/or disclosed by us on behalf of the Customer.

If we are required to disclose personal information by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena, warrant or other judicial or administrative order, our policy is to respond to requests that are properly issued by law enforcement within the United States. Under such circumstances, unless prohibited by applicable law, we will attempt to provide you, or the Customer if you are an Authorized User of such Customer, with prior notice that a request for your information has been made in order to give you an opportunity to object to the disclosure. We will attempt to provide this notice by email, if you have given us an email address. However, government requests may include a court-granted non-disclosure order, which prohibits us from giving notice to the affected individual. In cases where we receive a non-disclosure order, we notify the user when it has expired or once we are authorized to do so.

Note that if we receive information that provides us with a good faith belief that there is an exigent emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to a person, we may provide information to law enforcement trying to prevent or mitigate the danger (if we have it), to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
