For instance, when you use our service we may collect data from the prompts you ask OpenEvidence and the interactions you have with our service. We collect such data so we can better understand our customers’ behavior and the use of our product but we may also sell this data to Licensed Third Parties. We may disclose, distribute, transfer and sell such data that we collect or in connection with customers’ use, provided we do not disclose personal information of our users to those same third parties.
