These providers are contractually obligated to use your data only for the purposes of providing services to us and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

3.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, including to comply with AML regulations, respond to subpoenas, court orders, or law enforcement requests, and to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) or Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) as required by FinCEN.

3.4 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change and any choices you may have regarding your information.

3.5 No Sale of Personal Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

All data transmitted to and from the platform is encrypted using TLS 1.3
API keys and passwords are stored as SHA-256 cryptographic hashes — we cannot reverse them
OTP codes are hashed before storage and expire after 10 minutes
Session tokens are opaque and stored in secure, encrypted key-value storage
Infrastructure is hosted on Cloudflare's global network with enterprise-grade DDoS protection
Access to production systems is restricted to authorized personnel

While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your API keys and account credentials.

Identity verification data: Verification results retained for 5 years; original identity documents are processed by Stripe Identity and not stored by us
