COMMUNICATIONS
On occasion, it is necessary to send out a strictly service-related announcement. For instance, for product updates, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature. We communicate with you on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regard to issues relating to their account we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the user’s wishes.
