You acknowledge that we may reveal your information when mandated by law or when we reasonably determine disclosure is necessary to (1) satisfy legal obligations, law enforcement requests, or legal proceedings; or (2) safeguard the rights or assets of our Organization or third parties.
Our Organization, through its staff, contractors, and representatives, gathers personal data ("Personal Data") in various situations during Platform operations. We collect or may collect Personal Data in specific Platform areas, including when users create accounts, utilize services, submit payment details, request information or publications, subscribe to communications, engage in community features (forums, discussions, surveys), and manage access credentials.

These technologies help us enhance Platform functionality. This aggregate data does not personally identify you, and we maintain separation between aggregate and personally identifiable information.
