Transparent Value cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any communication or material
transmitted via such open networks. When disclosing any personal information via

except with such customer's consent or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
In cases where we believe that additional products and services may be of interest
to you, we may share your personal information with affiliates of Transparent Value
