Your Choices

You may choose not to provide the personal information we request. However, not providing information we request may restrict your ability to use certain features of the Websites. For example, we will not be able to respond to your inquiries if you do not provide us your contact information.

You may be able to restrict the collection of personal information or functionality through your device’s operating system or by disabling cookies but doing so may prevent you from using the functionality of the Websites.

At this time the Websites do not respond to browser “do not track” signals. We may allow third parties to use the Websites to collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites, applications, and other online products or services.

We may provide links to other websites and services for your convenience, such as social network buttons and the websites of our operating partners.
