For example, we may use third parties to perform data storage and processing services for us, to help us with billing and to process payments, and to help us communicate with our users. We also partner with certain third parties to collect, analyze, and use some of the personal information as described below in Third-Party Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising. Where we disclose information for a business purpose, we enter into a contract that describes the business purpose and requires the service provider to keep the personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except for performing the contract.
Third-Party Plugins. The Site integrates certain third-party plugins. Even if you do not click on these plugins, they may collect information about you, such as your IP address and the pages you view. They may also set and/or access a cookie. These plugins are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them.
Legal purposes. We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we have a good faith belief that disclosure of such information is helpful or reasonably necessary to (i) comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, (ii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues, (iii) support auditing and compliance functions, or (iv) protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of Crux, its users, yourself, or the public.
Organizational Transfers. In the event of a merger, sale of assets, sale of equity, investment, reorganization, bankruptcy, consolidation, or similar transaction, we may share information we possess to facilitate the transaction, including during due diligence, or as a corporate asset transferred to the acquiring entity. You acknowledge that such sharing and transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of us or our assets may continue to use your information as set forth in this policy.
Aggregated and De-Identified Information. Crux may also share aggregated or de-identified information about users that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
We partner with third parties to provide targeted advertising services that are customized based on your online activities over time and across unaffiliated websites. Collected information may include the content you view, the date and time that you view this content, and the website that referred you to the Services, and this information may be associated with your unique browser, device identifier, or Internet Protocol (IP) address. These practices help tailor advertisements that are relevant and useful to you. These tailored advertisements may appear on the Services or on other websites, applications, or properties.

Crux is committed to using commercially reasonable security measures, including administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information in our possession. However, as you know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse personal information that they collect from the Site.

While we do our best to protect personal information, Crux cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any password and/or account information. If your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify us and change your password. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online, especially when using a computer that other people can also use.
