Retention Of Your Information
We retain your information for no longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information was originally collected unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, for legal, tax or regulatory reasons, or other legitimate and lawful business purposes.
CHOICES AVAILABLE TO YOU
You can always choose whether or not to disclose Personal Information and that choice will not prevent you from using our websites.
