  • Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties if XPAD is compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order, or similar legal procedure, when it is necessary to comply with the law, or where the disclosure of personal information is reasonably necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity, or to investigate violations of the XPAD User Agreement, or as otherwise required by law.
  • Third-party service providers who assist us in providing services to you or who provide fraud detection or similar services on our behalf. Examples of third parties to whom we may disclose Personal Data for this purpose are banks and payment method providers.
  • Another XPAD user participating in the transaction and, depending on the privacy setting of each XPAD account transaction.
  • Service providers that provide services on our behalf, such as identity verification services, website hosting, data analysis, information technology, and related infrastructure, customer service, email delivery, and auditing services.

  • If you connect your XPAD account to other financial accounts, directly or through a third-party service provider, we may have access to your account balance and transactional information, such as purchases and funds transfers. If you choose to create an account connection, we may receive information from the third party about you and your use of the third-party’s service.

  • Information that we share with a third-party based on an account connection will be used and disclosed following the third-party’s privacy practices. Before authorizing an account connection, you should review the privacy notice of any third-party that will gain access to your personal information as part of the account connection. For example, personal information that XPAD shares with a third-party account such as a social media account may, in turn, be shared with certain other parties, including the general public, depending on the account’s or platform’s privacy practices.

XPAD will not send your personal information to third-party social networks unless you have specifically provided authorization. In such cases, information is no longer under the control of XPAD and is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of such third parties.
