7.4.1
Through our WelcomeBob service, you may choose to connect to certain third-party services offered by our business partners. To activate a connection and allow the WelcomeBob products and services to interface with an available third-party service, each WelcomeBob connection requires the exchange of certain information between WelcomeBob and our business partner that is providing the third-party service. For example, to enable you to integrate WelcomeBob’s products and services with those of our business partners, we may share certain account information with those business partners, such as your account ID and email address. In addition, we may share certain data our products collect from their surrounding environment that is necessary to perform their functions.
