Our Commitment to Safeguarding Your Privacy

This privacy policy is being provided to you to inform you of our practices and procedures regarding the safeguarding and sharing of non-public personal information.

We do not engage in the practice of disclosing your non-public personal information to non-affiliated third parties other than, as necessary, to provide services to our members. For instance, we do not sell your name, address or telephone number to telemarketers or to direct-mail solicitors. We do not engage in “list selling,” and we do not offer your personal information to publishing houses, retailers, or coupon companies.
