Legal purposes

We also may use or share your information with third parties, including government agencies or other regulatory bodies and law enforcement officials, when we believe, in our sole discretion, that doing so is necessary:

  • To comply with applicable law, including, a court order, subpoena, or other legal process or otherwise cooperate with appropriate law enforcement or regulatory investigations;

If you want to learn more about the personal information that TxnLab has about you, or you would like to update, change, or delete that information, to the extent possible, please contact us by email at feedback@txnlab.dev.
