We do not share your Personal Data with third parties (other than partners in connection with their services to BingX) except where you have given your consent and further detailed below.

We may share your Personal Data with third parties:

(a) if we think that sharing it is necessary to enforce the Terms of Service;

(d) in connection with the sale or transfer of our business or any part thereof.

Additionally, we have implemented international standards to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing and circumventing trade and economic sanctions and will implement final Virtual Financial Asset rules and regulations when effective, which will likely require us to undertake due diligence on our customers. This may include the use of third-party data and service providers which we will cross-reference with your personal information.
