requests to have Personally Identifiable Information
deactivated will have this information functionally
deleted, and we will not sell, transfer, or use Personally
Identifiable Information relating to that individual
in any way moving forward.

a Visitor or Authorized Customer has previously requested
not be disclosed, we will contact such Visitor or Authorized
Customer to allow such Visitor or Authorized Customer
to prevent such disclosure.
