ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ONWARD TRANSFER

As noted above, Yum may share an individual's information with contractors, government agencies and/or partners of Yum in connection with services that these individuals or entities perform for, or with, Yum or members of the Yum System. When your Personal Information is transferred to service providers, it is done under a contract which requires the companies to use the shared Personal Information only for the limited purposes for which it is provided to them, not to transfer the Personal Information to another party, and to agree to hold the information securely and confidentially. To the extent possible, all third parties to whom we disclose information are required by law and contractual undertakings to keep your Personal Information confidential and secure, and to use and disclose it only for purposes necessary for the performance of their obligations to Yum, or where a reasonable person would consider such processing appropriate in the circumstances.

DATA INTEGRITY AND PURPOSE LIMITATION

If Yum does not allow the individual the right of access or correction under this section, we will provide the impacted individual with the reasons why they are not permitted such access.
