how is that different from what the blogpost said?

edit: to be clear, the blog post has listed, among other complaints:

> Onfido may disclose your personal information to an actual or potential buyer (note "potential")

which you seem to be confirming from your own review of their policy. What did the blog post misrepresent?

Omitting the context very clearly makes it sound like they sell your personal information, when the paragraph is actually referring to disclosing the data in an M&A transaction. The "buyer" here is not a buyer of data but the buyer of the company. Even you said "from reading this blog post it seems like yet another evil company trying to suck up PII from unsuspecting victims and sell it".

It actually wasn't that particular line that made me think they were selling personal information, it was mostly the other three points in that list which you seem to be ignoring:

* Each of Onfido’s and/or Provider’s third-party vendors may have access to the facial scan data

* Onfido is in no way linked to or responsible for the practices of other Providers. Onfido encourages you to read Company’s privacy policies and terms and conditions, as well as those of other Providers, which may apply to the use of facial scan data extracted from photos and videos.

* Onfido may disclose your personal information... or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary... to protect your vital interests or those of any other person
