**Tags**: #Transparency #BusinessModel #Monetization > [!info] > This information is shared as part of Decombine's commitment to [[Open Core]] practices. ## How does Decombine make money? Decombine monetizes its services in two ways: 1. Decombine is working to offer financial services automation through partner relationships that can be embedded directly in our contracts. In exchange for this service, we charge a small transaction fee. 2. Decombine is working to offer value added services that can be automated directly in our contracts to make it easier to meet regulatory or operational requirements. In exchange for these various services, we charge fees dependent on the service. ## What data do you share? Your contracts may require data to be transmitted to third parties included in the contract or for regulatory reasons (we will let you know about this). Outside of these cases, we do NOT share data with anyone that isn't required. You can identify the specific data that is transmitted over our infrastructure in [[Vendor Data Architecture Transparency]]. Outside of this information, no vendor or party has any access to your data. ### Is Decombine GDPR compliant? Yes. Decombine is fully compliant with EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements. We have designed Decombine's services from the beginning to respect data sovereignty and treat confidentiality as a core principle of operation. ### Does Decombine use my data for monetization in any other way? No. ### Does Decombine sell my data to anyone? No. ### Does Decombine share my data with anyone outside of Smart Legal Contract automation? No. ### Do you share my email with anyone outside of the contracts? No.
