In plain English
The information does not stay only between the person it relates to and the organisation that first gathers it. It is also passed on or made accessible to other people or organisations outside that direct relationship.
In context
Here, it classifies the data as having been disclosed or made available to organisations outside the user and the organisation that directly collected it.
- Situation
- Understanding encryption, privacy, data-sharing, and secure-connection labels
- What it communicates
- classifies data as sent to outside organizations
Meaning limits
This status alone does not establish the reason for the sharing or anything beyond the fact that outside parties received access to the data.
Examples
“Her address ended up shared with third parties instead of staying only with the company that took her order.”
“Any phone number shared with third parties was listed separately from details kept only by the service.”
