There are times when we may ask you to (or you

Occasionally, we may send communications in order to

e-mail messages on how to unsubscribe if you later decide
you do not want to receive any future e-mails or other

We may also use, disclose and communicate your information
if required to do so by law including by an order of

At times, we conduct on-line surveys to better understand

layer encryption for Internet communications).
Please note when you send e-mails to us, they are not
necessarily secure when they are transmitted. If your
