If one of you chooses to opt out, no information we have collected about you will be shared, nor will we share information about any other joint party collected in conjunction with the product or service.

If you previously sent us an opt out, then we will continue to apply your instruction to the information you asked us not to share. You do not need to return another opt out form.
