We may disclose information we collect about you when required or permitted by law, such as to:

Important Privacy Choices

We respect your privacy choices. Customers who have purchased products or services from the Program have the option to authorize us to share information as follows:

With AARP or its subsidiary for purposes unrelated to the Program. These purposes include sharing with AARP and its subsidiary to allow them to analyze members' needs and interests. AARP and its subsidiary use non-member data to solicit memberships. AARP and its subsidiary may also share your information with other AARP service providers to inform you of other AARP member benefits and services that may be of interest to you. These AARP service providers include other insurers, financial services companies and providers of consumer products and services.
