DISCLOSURE OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES

certain non-public personal information about our current and former customers
with our family of companies such as your name, address and telephone number;

limited to what we reasonably believe is appropriate and necessary to carry on our business
and to provide the quality of service you expect and deserve.
