This provision establishes the full scope of third-party disclosure that the agreement permits, including disclosure to parties in mergers and acquisitions and to third-party applications chosen by the user, whose own privacy policies govern subsequent use of that information. The merger and acquisition disclosure provision is standard but operationally relevant because it authorizes disclosure without individual user consent in that context.
Under this provision, the agreement authorizes disclosure of personal information to vendors and service providers acting on Khan Academy's behalf, account-associated users such as parents and teachers, schools for school-purpose accounts, user-selected third-party applications, and parties in connection with mergers or acquisitions. For third-party applications chosen by the user, the third party's own privacy policy governs the use of that information.
