We may use Personal Information to send you newsletters, to process
transactions that you have requested, to provide services that you have
requested and for other reasons that are disclosed to you prior to such
usage. We may permit our contractors to have access to your Personal

described in this policy.
We may use Aggregate Information and/or Personal Information to deliver
advertising to you that is customized to your individual behavior or

ways, provided that it will not be disclosed in connection with your
