> I'll ask our legal team if we can somehow contractually preclude ourselves from sharing this data in the case of liquidation or otherwise bind ourselves in a useful fashion...

Attack real problems on all flanks, but I don't think you can get an affirmative from Legal.

Do you have cryptographers on staff? The "technology as a contract" approach is to implement a homomorphic encryption technique to do your cross-site correlation without being able to unmask the individual who is using multiple sites.

That way you don't have to trust your users, customers, sysadmins, big-data people, LEO, OR creditors. Keep it as secret sauce, or even better, drop an open-source library on github to advance the state of privacy. I would like to be able to ask vendors, "why AREN'T you protecting users' privacy this way?".
