In addition, PDCSL reserves the right to use PII to send to you important information regarding the Site, your account status, changes to the User Agreement, this Privacy Policy, or any other policies, agreements, or transactions relevant to your use of the Site.

We give you choices regarding our use and disclosure of your PII for marketing purposes.

Please also note that if you choose not to receive marketing-related messages from us, we may still send you important administrative messages, and you cannot elect to stop receiving such administrative messages, unless you choose to stop receiving services from us.
If we intend to use your PII for a purpose that is incompatible with the purposes detailed in this Privacy Policy, or if we intend to disclose it to a type of third party not previously identified, we will notify you and offer you the opportunity to opt-out of such uses and/or disclosures.
