For residents of Arizona, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, and Virginia.

Some of this information will come from you and some may come from other sources. That information and any other information we collect may in some circumstances be disclosed to third parties, such as agents, affiliates, service providers and others without your specific consent. In some cases, we may need your direct authorization before sharing that information. Residents have the right to access, to correct and, in some states, to delete (if incorrect) the information collected about them, except information that relates to a claim or to a civil or criminal proceeding.
