Personal information, as used herein, means any information that identifies an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a business or other physical address and an email address or other work contact information.

We give you the opportunity to elect not to receive information from us regarding upcoming events and other news. If you choose not to provide personal information that we request, then we may not be able to provide certain services or information to you.
