In certain circumstances, we may need to restrict your rights to safeguard the rights of others, the public interest (for example, the prevention or detection of crime) and our interests (for example, the maintenance of legal privilege).

If you have an account on our Website, you can view, manage and modify your Personal Information and preferences on your own, and you can opt in or out of features like electronic communications about our promotional offers and special offers from our partners.
