If you specifically decide to provide such information (such as by emailing a help request to us), we do not sell, rent or trade any personally identifiable information you have provided. If you choose to provide us with an email address, we will not send an email to you unless you specifically request an email response to a customer service inquiry or contact is required in order to protect someone's safety or to enforce this Agreement.
