Except as described in this privacy policy, DFi Labs will not give, sell, rent, or lend any personal information to any third party.

DFi Labs collects personal information to provide you with DFi Labs' services. When DFi Labs asks users to provide specific personal information, it is because this information is relevant for certain purposes. Any information that you provide to DFi Labs that is not required is voluntary.

You are free to choose to provide DFi Labs with the types of personal information described below, but DFi Labs may not be able to serve you as effectively or offer you all or part of DFi Labs' services when you choose not to share certain information with DFi Labs.
