Sharing with a third party: Personal Information may be provided to third parties, including anti-fraud organizations, legal, regulatory, or law enforcement authorities, in cases of suspected criminal activity or contravention of law, for the detection and prevention of fraud, or when required to satisfy the legal or regulatory requirements of governments, regulatory authorities, or other self-regulatory organizations, or to comply with a court order or to protect our assets (e.g., collection of overdue accounts).

Sharing within the group "Company": We may share your Personal Information within the group, including locations outside the European Economic Zone where we do business, for marketing purposes, legal and regulatory purposes, to manage credit risk and other business risks, to perform analytics, to ensure we have the correct or up-to-date information about you (such as your current address or date of birth), and to better manage your relationship with us.

Business sale or re-organization: Over time, we may acquire new businesses or sell some of our businesses. Accordingly, Personal Information associated with any accounts, products, or services of the business being purchased or sold will be reviewed as part of the due diligence process and subsequently transferred as a business asset to the new business owner. We may also transfer Personal Information as part of a corporate re-organization or other change in corporate control.

Sub-contractors and agents: We may use affiliates or other companies to provide services on our behalf, such as data processing, account administration, fraud prevention and detection, analytics, and marketing. These companies will be given only the Personal Information needed to perform those services, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose Personal Information for their own marketing or other purposes. We have contracts in place holding these companies to the same standards of confidentiality by which we are governed.

Personal Information Security

We employ TLS certificates, encryption, data access limitations, anti-virus software, and firewalls to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to personal data. However, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please be aware of security risks when transmitting personal data to us and when posting information in our public forums.

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide functionality and fulfill the transactions you have requested, or for other legitimate purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements.
