SentiLink shall have no right to sublicense, sell, resell, or disclose to any third party the Customer Data, except, however, that SentiLink and its subcontractors and services providers may collect, analyze, and use data derived from or part of the Customer Data, solely for purposes of providing the Services, and analyzing, operating and improving SentiLink’s fraud detection and prevention services.
- Customer certifies its use of the Services is solely for uses permitted by the GLBA, and to protect against or prevent actual fraud, unauthorized transactions, claims or other liability.

- Customer hereby authorizes SentiLink to store and use all Customer Data provided by or on behalf of Customer and/or its customers in connection with the Services, and all information that is derived from such Customer Data, in order to provide the Services and/or Software, to create Depersonalized Information, to incorporate into its proprietary fraud prevention algorithms and models and fraud prevention services, , and to disclose or use Depersonalized Information to enhance or improve SentiLink services or products or otherwise in order to prevent fraud, provided that (i) SentiLink cleanses such Customer Data to remove Customer’s name and any NPI and otherwise renders such Customer Data unidentifiable to any person, individual, consumer, or entity and not capable of being back-derived by an expert in the field using industry knowledge and available data-analytic tools and techniques (collectively, the “Depersonalized Information” ), and (ii) the Depersonalized Information is included in a data set comprising both Depersonalized Information derived from Customer Data and the Depersonalized Information derived from other SentiLink Customers (“Aggregate Form”) such that the Depersonalized Information cannot be linked to Customer. Customer agrees that SentiLink is entitled to disclose such Customer Data and derived information to third parties in order to facilitate its cleansing, provided that any such third parties are bound by commercially reasonable confidentiality and non-disclosure restrictions. SentiLink’s rights with respect to Depersonalized Information or any data incorporated into its Services, including fraud prevention algorithms and models, under this provision shall survive the termination of the Agreement or any Service.

As used in this Section 9, the term “Claim” means any action, litigation, or claim by a third party that result from, relate to, arise out of, or are incurred in connection with a failure to obtain all necessary consents and permissions from consumers whose personal information is being submitted to SentiLink. Customer’s obligation to indemnify SentiLink pursuant to this Section 9 shall not be deemed to limit any claim Customer may have against SentiLink for breach of its obligations under the Agreement.
