When we do have to share Personal Information with third parties, we take steps to protect your information by requiring these third parties to enter into a contract with us that requires them to use the Personal Information we transfer to them in a manner that is consistent with this policy.
4. Data Collected for and by our Users -

Consistent with the uses of Personal Information covered in Section 3, we may transfer Personal Information of you or your End Users to companies that help us promote, provide, or support our Services or the services of our Users (''Service Providers''). All Service Providers enter into a contract with us that protects Personal Information and restricts their use of any Personal Information consistent with this policy.

Folklore Academy, as the Data Processor, is not in a position to directly handle these requests.

7. How we protect your information -
While no service is completely secure, we have a security team dedicated to keeping personal information safe. We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards that are intended to appropriately protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse and any other unlawful form of processing of, the personal information in our possession. We employ security measures such as using firewalls to protect against intruders, building redundancies throughout our network (so that if one server goes down, another can cover for it) and testing for and protecting against network vulnerabilities.
