All such third parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which it was shared, adhering to strict confidentiality agreements.
We also share information when required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or regulatory inquiry, or to protect against fraud and unauthorized transactions. For example, reporting suspicious activities to relevant authorities is a critical step in safeguarding both our members and the broader financial system. Our data security measures include physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect your nonpublic personal information.
