If suspicious activity or fraudulent behavior is detected, relevant information may be shared with security agencies or investigators. This is done in the interest of protecting all users.

5.4 Business Changes

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user information may be transferred. If such a change occurs, we will notify users in advance and update this privacy policy.
