Monotype also discloses personal data to service providers acting as agents on its behalf, including providers of hosting and IT infrastructure, customer relationship management, payment processing, e-commerce, customer support, e-mail marketing, and website analytics.

Onward transfers and liability
In the event Monotype discloses Personal Data covered by this Policy to a non-agent third party, it will do so consistent with any notice provided to Data Subjects and any choice they have exercised regarding processing and disclosure. Monotype will only disclose Personal Data to third parties that have given us contractual assurances that they will provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by this Policy and the Principles and that they will process Personal Data for limited and specific purposes consistent with any consent provided by the individual. If Monotype has knowledge that a third party to which it has disclosed Personal Data covered by this Policy is processing such Personal Data in a way that is contrary to this Policy and/or the Principles, Monotype will take steps to prevent or stop such processing.
Monotype complies with the Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, UK and Switzerland. In cases of onward transfer to third parties of personal data received pursuant to the Data Privacy Framework, Monotype remains liable under the Data Privacy Framework Principles if its agent processes such personal data in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless Monotype proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
