3. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not disclose your personal or business information to third parties except in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Partners & Software Integrations: If required to perform our services (e.g., setting up cloud accounting software, payroll processing, or tax preparation tools), we may transmit necessary information to authorized third-party platforms on your behalf. These providers are contractually obligated to maintain strict confidentiality and data security.
