In some instances, we rely on legitimate interests to process information for fraud prevention, security monitoring, and service improvement. Where required by law, we obtain explicit consent for specific data processing activities, particularly those related to marketing communications or data sharing with third parties. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time where it serves as the legal basis for processing.
