Please note that we may use and share aggregated or de-identified data—data that no longer identifies individual users—for purposes such as regulatory compliance, research, analysis, marketing, advertising (whether for us or third parties), and other legitimate business needs.
5. Information Disclosure

However, if required by law, we may disclose your information (like your email address) to comply with legal processes or law enforcement requests. We aim to limit the information shared to what is legally necessary and challenge requests that we believe are overbroad or invalid.
