In certain circumstances we may collect sensitive information such as health information from you. We will only collect such information with your consent or otherwise in accordance with the law. Where an individual chooses not to provide requested information, we will advise that individual of what impact this non-disclosure may have. For example, withholding certain information may limit our ability to market relevant offers or services to individuals.
