For example, service providers may help us: (i) verify or authenticate your identification, (ii) check information against public databases, (iii) assist us with background checks, fraud prevention, and risk assessment, (iv) provide customer service, advertising, or payments services or, (v) provide underlying infrastructure as required for the operation of the Sensee Services. These providers have limited access to your information to perform these tasks on our behalf, and are contractually obligated to use it consistent with this Privacy Policy.
- Payments to Sensee. Sensee may share your personal information to:
(i) take payment from you for your use of the Services and
(ii) facilitate your use of the Sensee Services. - Safety and compliance with law.

In instances where we comply with legal requests without notice for these reasons, we will attempt to notify you about the request after the fact if we determine in good faith that we are no longer legally prohibited from doing so and that no Risk Scenarios apply. - Corporate affiliates.
