Subject to obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy, we may also disclose information to our agents, contractors, and service providers in order to facilitate the functioning of the Services or to perform tasks that are integral to the Services, such as processing transactions, fulfilling requests for information, or providing support Services or other tasks, from time to time. Information may also be transferred from Sip Sip to the third parties in control of the supported platforms, but only to the extent required in order for the Services to function properly.
Our services may contain third-party links, third-party search results, include third-party integrations, or offer a co-branded or third-party-branded service. Through these links, third-party integrations, and co-branded or third-party-branded services, you may be providing information (including personal information) directly to the third party, us, or both.

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, uses, alteration and disclosure.
Certain Personal information, most notably Sip Sip log-in details, is encrypted during transmission using TLS. Once set in the system, we keep them as a hash value, so original representation is calculated dynamically whenever you log-in. In addition, Sip Sip uses Third-Party vendors and hosting partners such as Amazon to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking storage, and related technology required to run the Services. These vendors have been selected for their high standards of both physical and technological security, including ISO and SSAE16 certifications.
You should bear in mind that the submission of information over the internet is never entirely secure. You’re responsible for the connection that you’re using, don’t connect to unknown host-pots that you don't trust and that could potentially collect your data. We cannot guarantee the security of information that you submit via the Services whilst it is in transit over the Internet and any such submission is at your own risk, and this risk is specifically disclaimed.

You should be aware that Sip Sip acts as a conduit between our users and the various supported platforms and third-party apps.
