7. Financial Protection
3. Your contact history with us – To provide a better customer service and support to you, we keep your contact history to train our staff and to improve our service.

5. Your response to competitions and promotions – You don’t have to give us any of this personal information but if you don’t, you may not be able to buy from the site, and you are unlikely to receive our optimal overall customer experience. But that is your choice – and we respect that.
