CHOICE

If you wish to opt out, all you need to do is contact us using the information in the section called “What to do if you have privacy or security”.
Applicable law allows certain exceptions to your ability to opt out, such as where we are parties to a contract that is still being performed, where law requires us to maintain information. Where applicable law permits us to retain and continue to use such information and we do so, we will do so only to the extent permitted or required by law. If you contact us to opt out, we will explain the options available and comply with your request as required by the Principles and applicable law.
The above choice/opt-out doesn’t apply where the sharing of your personal data is with a third party who is acting as our agent (such as our service providers who perform services that help us to run our business). We won’t provide your personal data to a third party under these circumstances unless we have a contract in place with that third party that requires the third party to comply with the Principles.
We will obtain your affirmative express consent (opt-in) from you if we collect sensitive information and that information is to be (i) disclosed to a third party or (ii) used for a purpose other than those for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individuals through the exercise of opt-in choice. We also treat as sensitive any personal data received from a third party where the third party identifies and treats it as sensitive.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY
We restrict access to your Information to employees who we have determined need it in order to provide products or services to you. We train our employees to safeguard customer information. We maintain strict physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your Information from unauthorized access by third parties.
