We share personal data with the following categories of recipients:
Service providers. We engage third-party companies to perform services on our behalf, including cloud hosting, customer relationship management, email marketing (Marketo), website analytics (Google Analytics), chatbot support, and AI service providers for AI-assisted features.

AI service providers are contractually prohibited from using inputs for model training.
Advertising and analytics partners. Through cookies on sightly.com, certain data is shared with third-party advertising and analytics services including Google, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Marketo. This sharing occurs only with your consent as managed through our Cookiebot consent platform. See our Cookie Policy for the complete list of providers.
Professional advisors. We may share personal data with our legal counsel, accountants, and auditors as needed for professional advice and compliance.
Legal and regulatory authorities. We may disclose personal data when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
