To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions, security incidents, and other illegal activity in accordance with applicable financial regulations.

To send transactional communications, service updates, compliance notices, and — with your consent — marketing communications about new API products.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use strictly necessary cookies to maintain session integrity and authenticate API dashboard users. These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.

With your consent, we use analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand feature usage and improve our developer experience.

You may manage cookie preferences via our Cookie Preference Center or by configuring your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

4. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data with service providers (cloud infrastructure, payment processors, compliance vendors) bound by data processing agreements.

We may disclose data to regulatory bodies, law enforcement, or financial authorities when legally required or to protect the security of the fhbo-usa platform.
