What it is

The policy states that personal data will be shared with law enforcement and in connection with legal matters when required.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a mandatory disclosure obligation to law enforcement and in legal proceedings. The phrase 'in other legal matters' is broader than a simple law enforcement subpoena provision and may encompass litigation, regulatory inquiries, or other proceedings; the scope is not further defined in the consumer-facing text.

Interpretive note: The phrase 'other legal matters' is not defined in the consumer-facing text, and the full scope of permissible disclosures cannot be determined from this excerpt alone.
