If you prefer that we not disclose PII about you to Third Parties for advertising or marketing purposes, you may opt out of those disclosures; that is, you may direct us not to make those disclosures (other than disclosures permitted by law).  If you receive communications from us that you do not want to receive, you can opt-out of receiving these communications by specifically telling us to stop sending them to you.  On every email you receive from Alex and Emmy, other than those sent by Providers, we will provide you with a link to opt out of future emails by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in the header or the footer.
