We share personal data with our employees, third party service providers, partners and in accordance with law. Our third-party service providers are contractually required to protect personal data in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Statement.
We share your information for the purposes set out in this Statement, with the following categories of recipients:
• the account administrator, in the case of corporate or shared subscriptions.
• service providers who process personal data on our behalf, such as cloud computing providers and web analytics services.
• registry operators and data escrow agents where you purchase, transfer, or cancel a domain name
• professional advisors such as legal counsel and information security professionals where reasonably required to protect our rights, users, systems and our Web Site
• government agencies, law enforcement, courts and other public authorities where we have a duty to or are permitted to disclose your personal data by law
• prospective buyers, sellers, advisers or partners in relation to any sale, merger, acquisition, restructure, joint venture, assignment, transfer or similar corporate event, in which case we may disclose your personal data to and your data may be a transferred asset in a business sale
We may also provide access to your personal data when legally required to do so, to cooperate with police investigations or other legal or enforcement proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our Web Site, to limit our legal liability and protect our rights, or to protect the rights and safety of visitors to this Web Site or the public. In those instances, the information is provided only for that limited purpose.
Even if there is a reasonable delay before the data is fully deleted (as is common), the data still counts as "permanently deleted" and satisfies the parameters for this question.
Score
Notes
There is no requirement for the service to let you delete your data.
This may come in the form of outright data sharing or by using local third-party analytics software (such as Google Analytics, which collects a plethora of user information).
Note that whether the policy allows sharing aggregated user data does not affect this question.
If the personal data is encrypted when it passes through the third-party, it does not count as third-party access (as the data is inaccessible to that party).
If personal data has been made public by, for example, posting it to a blog, it does not count as private personal information (and is therefore not considered by this question).
