How We Share Your Information

We take a strict need-to-know approach. We do not sell your personal information. We do not share data with advertisers.

Authorized partners and advisors

Client data may be shared with institutional partners, such as financial institutions or advisory firms, who are directly involved in the management or servicing of that specific client's account. Data is shared only with parties that have a direct relationship with the client and a demonstrated operational need. Client data is never shared with parties not directly involved with that client.

Service providers

We use a limited number of third-party service providers to operate the platform. These providers process data solely on our behalf, under strict contractual data processing agreements, and are prohibited from using your data for any other purpose. Categories include: cloud infrastructure, security monitoring, authentication services, and analytics.

Legal requirements

We may disclose information where required by applicable law, court order, or regulatory authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Successions, our users, or the public.

Business transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred to the successor entity. We will provide notice before personal data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

  • Encryption in transit: All data encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher
  • Encryption at rest: All stored data encrypted using AES-256
  • Access controls: Role-based access and multi-factor authentication enforced for all personnel
  • Audit logging: All access to sensitive data is logged and regularly reviewed
