This clause establishes the procedural framework for data transfer during corporate transactions, requiring notice and disclosure of user choices rather than requiring affirmative consent prior to transfer. It clarifies that personal information may be treated as a transferable business asset in M&A transactions.
Users are notified of ownership changes and permitted data uses through email or website notice, and retain the ability to exercise available choices regarding their information post-transfer. The provision does not require Medium to obtain consent before transferring data during a transaction, but does establish notification obligations.
