5.1 Service Providers

We share necessary information with third-party service providers directly involved in delivering our services to you — such as payment processors and identity verification service providers. All such providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.

5.2 Legal and Regulatory Requirements

We may be required to disclose your personal information when requested by competent authorities based on a court order or valid legal requirement. This includes cooperation with our licensing authorities for audit purposes and AML/KYC compliance.

5.3 Business Merger or Acquisition

In the event of a corporate transaction such as a merger or acquisition, user information may be transferred as part of the business assets. In such situations, you will be notified in advance and the same Privacy Policy will continue to apply to your data.
