Your Choices, Including Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information

We will always obtain your permission before collecting your Personal Information through the Sites. We will not use or share your Personal Information collected through the Sites in ways unrelated to the purposes for which you provided such Personal Information to us, including as described in this Privacy Policy, without providing you with a choice whether to permit any such unrelated uses.  If you choose not to provide certain Personal Information to us, please be aware that you may be prevented from making full use of the features, services and/or promotions offered through the Sites, or otherwise from maximizing your membership benefits. For example, we may require your name and e-mail address in order to register you as a member, complete your orders, add you to e-mail newsletter lists or allow you to comment on our blogs or other content, and we may require your home address, e-mail address and/or telephone number if you would like to enter a contest or sweepstakes we may run, and so that we can send prize notifications, deliver rewards or prizes or notify you of special offers.
