We may disclose personal data to public authorities, courts, or other parties when required by law, when necessary to protect our rights, or when needed to respond to lawful requests. We may also share information to support accounting, tax, or dispute-related obligations.

Disclosure may be required for compliance, safety, or recordkeeping purposes.
