From time to time, we may also request and you may choose to provide us with personally identifiable information through the use of the Website or through email addresses available from our Website.
If you do not provide us with the personally identifiable information that we request, we may not be able to properly assess your request for service, and the level of service we can provide you may be reduced to the extent that you do not provide us with relevant information.
