Enabling Services. An important communication feature of the Thrive application is the ability to communicate with users via email. Thrive utilizes 3rd Party Email services and will share personal information to the extent that is necessary to enable these services. The company administrators have the ability to control email communication from the application and users may opt out of the service. By design, the use of email in the Thrive workflow is often critical to the overall usefulness of the application so it is encouraged to speak with the company administrator before opting out of the email.
