Your choices with respect to the collection and use of your information
• As discussed above, you can choose not to provide us with any information, although it may be needed to take advantage of certain features offered on Centre-Des-Formations.
• You also can add or update information and close your account as described above.
• As a registered Centre-Des-Formations member, you can modify your e-mail subscription choices at any time on the Member Profile page. Whether registered as a Centre-Des-Formations member or not, you also will be given the opportunity to unsubscribe from promotional messages in any such e-mail we send. Please note that we reserve the right to send you other communications, including service announcements, administrative messages, and surveys relating either to your Centre-Des-Formations account, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.
• Email Communications : Centre-Des-Formations.com wants to make it easy for you to take advantage of education-related opportunities on our Web site. One way we do this is by sending you e-mail messages that contain information about your apparent education-related interests. For example, if you search for a flight to New York, or New York educations or reviews on Centre-Des-Formations.com, we may send you an email message reminding you about special airfare or education offers in New York. Similarly, if you receive an email about New York education and demonstrate an interest in New York educations, flights, or local education reviews by affirmatively clicking on a link about New York educations in the email, you may receive an email about New York education or flight offers. We believe these email messages will provide you with useful information about education-related special offers available through our sites. Please note that you will have the opportunity to choose not to receive these email messages in any such email we send.
