  • You might be looking for this perhaps?

    I can’t copy and paste the text from my phone, but under Privacy Policy > 4. When and with whom do we share your personal information?, it says the following in the first paragraph:

    Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents (‘third parties’) who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work.

    (Not verbatim…) It goes on to say the contracts are designed to safeguard personal information and can’t use any personal information without their permission. Third parties will not share personal information except with them and third parties commit to data protection they hold on their behalf and to retain it for the period they have been instructed.

    Third parties information may be shared with:

    • Ad Networks
    • Data Analytics Services
    • Payment Processors
    • Performance Monitoring Tools
    • Sales & Marketing Tools
    • Testing Tools
    • User Account Registration & Authentication Services
    • Website Hosting Service Providers
    • Cloud Computing Services
    • Communication & Collaboration Tools
    • Retargeting Platforms
    • Social Networks

    Additionally:

    • During business transfers i.e. mergers, sale of assets, financing, acquisitions, negotiations
    • When using Google maps platform APIs
    • Other users: this seems to be mostly if you connect/interact via a social media platform like Facebook. It may be more nuanced than I understand.




  • I used to dislike the taste of licorice. I used to eat the sweet bits from those licorice cubes my dad had when I was a kid and then throw away the licorice parts.

    Don’t know when that changed, but I was on the way home with my old man (I may have been late teens/early 20’s?) and I was quite hungry. All he had in the car at the time was licorice and it was one of the most delicious things I ever had.

    He sometimes playfully complains that he remembered a time when us kids never liked licorice or pepper and now we eat him out of a house.







  • I’m thankful our HR gave us notice when I was in Desktop Support.

    The rare occasion we received short notice from HR or the general exec of our tech division was due to an immediate termination, and that was usually due to people not passing probation, or for egregious behaviour like sending 100s of GB to their personal email after they resigned and we’re in their notice period.

    Or we once had a guy who was completely off the rails… we don’t know what happened exactly, but a user called up and he was having a manic episode and was convinced someone hacked his account/phone and was listening to him.

    We raised it as a concern and a few weeks (maybe a month or so later) we were asked to terminate his account.

    I heard he had stopped taking his meds. Hope he’s alright now… he was a nice fellow usually.
