• change your preferences for certain communications; and
• request access to your personally identifiable information.

You may exercise your choices by contacting us via the Contact Us information provided below or following the instructions provided in the electronic communications sent to you.

If you continue to receive our communications after expressing an opt-out preference, please let us know so that we can investigate the situation. We will, however, continue to send transaction-based emails if you engage in a transaction, request customer support, or make similar requests.

However, doing so may disable many of the portions, features, or functionality of the Site. For example, most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you have the choice to set your browser to accept or reject cookies.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by the Site and our service providers.
