for other purposes. Information you send to Fluidigm.com is otherwise
kept private.

may occasionally be transferred to third parties who act for or on
behalf of Fluidigm or in connection with the business of Fluidigm, for
further processing in accordance with the purpose(s) for which the data
were originally collected. Where disclosure of personal data to a third
party is likely or necessary for whatever reason, Fluidigm will,
wherever possible, endeavor to ensure that the disclosure and intended
use of the data are clearly indicated. Such third parties may operate
different privacy policies.
