Such co-branded areas may require you to disclose Personal Information to the third party. The co-branded areas will identify the third party, however, the third party’s privacy policy will apply to how they treat your Personal Information. We recommend you review the privacy policy of these third parties.  If you elect to register for events or products with these third parties you will be providing your Personal Information to both us, and the third party.
