General Guidelines
- When law enforcement agencies request non-public information (such as a user’s personal or financial information), we will not share this information unless we have previously obtained consent from such user to disclose such type of information and an enforceable court order, subpoena or search warrant has been issued and received by us;
- We will notify affected users if we believe we are legally required to provide their personal or financial information to a law enforcement agency, unless we are prohibited by law from doing so;
- When law enforcement agencies request information about a user who is a merchant, we cannot and will not provide information about such merchant’s customers who are not our customers or platform users. We consider this information to be in the possession, control and custody of the merchant, who is the controller and processor of such information. If law enforcement agencies request this information, such requests for information should be directed to the relevant merchant and not Nebula Ventures Ltd.;
- Only information specifically requested and clearly outlined in an enforceable court order, subpoena or search warrant will be disclosed by us.
