Disclosure to Third Parties
Data360 may share some kinds of personally identifiable information with third parties as described below.
Companies and People Who Work for Us:
CMS contracts with other companies and individuals to help us provide our services. For example, we may host some of our professional websites on another company’s computers, hire technical consultants to maintain any web-based health tools, or work with companies to remove repetitive information from customer lists, analyze data or provide marketing assistance (including assisting us in targeting our advertisements as described herein), customer service or fulfillment services.
In addition, if you are a healthcare professional, we may validate your licensure status and other information against available databases that list licensed healthcare professionals. In order to perform their jobs, these other companies may have limited access to some of the personally identifiable information we maintain about users of the professional websites. We require all such companies to comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy, to limit their access to any personal information to the minimum extent necessary to perform their obligations, and not to use the information they may access for purposes other than fulfilling their responsibilities to us.
Promotional Offers:
Sometimes Data360 sends offers to selected users or clients of CMS services on behalf of other businesses. When we do so, we do not give such businesses your name and address. If you do not wish to receive such third party offers, you may contact CMS at the email or postal address below and request removal from these promotional offers.
Assignments:
If CMS transfers or assigns a business unit (such as a subsidiary) or an asset (such as a web site) to another company, that company will be required to honor the applicable terms of Data360’s then-current Privacy Policy and associated privacy and data handling practices and procedures.

In the event that we are legally compelled to disclose your personally identifiable information to a third party, we will attempt to notify you unless doing so would violate the law or court order.
In addition, and without limiting our foregoing obligations, CMS may be required under law to report breaches by CMS or CMS’ affiliates, partners, vendors or clients, to the applicable privacy or data protection authorities. Such authorities are empowered to bring civil and criminal action, including imposing financial penalties, against any party misusing or failing to adequately protect or secure personal information.
