6. Who do we share your Personal Data with?
We may share your information with selected recipients to perform functions required to provide certain Services to you and/or in connection with our efforts to prevent and investigate fraudulent or other criminal activity. All such third parties will be contractually bound to protect data in compliance with our Privacy Policy. The categories of recipients include:
Other metaease.io entities, including to help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and violations of our policies, and to guide decisions about our products, services and communications;
Service providers who help with our business operations and to deliver our Services, such as:
Cloud service providers providing cloud infrastructure;
Providers of ID verification solutions and other due diligence solutions (such as KYC and anti-money laundering);
Providers of website analytics;
Providers of customer service solutions; and
Providers of marketing automation platforms.
Law enforcement, government officials, regulatory agencies, our banks, and other third parties pursuant to a subpoena, court order or other legal process or requirement if applicable to metaease.io; or when we believe, in our sole discretion, that the disclosure of data is necessary to report suspected illegal or fraudulent activity or to investigate violations of our User Agreement.

Funding and transaction information related to your use of certain Services may be recorded on a public blockchain. Public blockchains are distributed ledgers, intended to immutably record transactions across wide networks of computer systems. Many blockchains are open to forensic analysis which can lead to deanonymization and the unintentional revelation of private financial information, especially when block chain data is combined with other data. Because blockchains are decentralised or third-party networks that are not controlled or operated by metaease.io or its affiliates, we are not able to erase, modify, or alter Personal Data from such networks.
