However, if a business adopts and discloses in its privacy policy a policy of not disclosing customers’ Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of Personal Information and by providing a cost-free means to exercise that right.
Personal information submitted at the time of submission may be used for third-party marketing and promotional purposes only with your permission. Whenever you allow us to collect Personal Information, we provide you with an option to prevent such information from being shared for marketing and promotional purposes with third parties. Furthermore, you may exercise this cost-free option at any time by clicking on the link below:
