If you do not provide personal information required by law, we will have to close your account.
- To enforce our terms in our user agreement and other agreements: Stillman Digital handles sensitive information, such as your identification and financial data, so it is very important for us and our customers that we actively monitor, investigate, prevent, and mitigate any potentially prohibited or illegal activities, enforce our agreements with third parties, and/or prevent and detect violations of our posted user agreement or agreements for other Services.
