services Check Savers offers, we may
share personal information, such as the
information described above, within our
partner companies. You have the option to
limit our sharing of certain information
with our affiliates and our affiliates'
right to market to you based on certain
information we share with them.
Affiliate Sharing Opt-Out: The Fair

opportunity to limit the sharing of "nonexperience"
information with our partner companies. Such
information includes information that is
used, expected to be used or collected for
the purpose of establishing your eligibility
for merchant services, bill payment and
related products and services, and is not
related solely to your transactions or other
communications with us. If you would prefer
that we not share nonexperience information,
you may direct us not to share this
information by calling us at 1-813-384-2300
or write us at Check Savers, Attn:
Privacy Officer, 206 Apollo Beach Blvd.,

If you opt out of our sharing of "nonexperience"
information, we may still share information
relating solely to your transactions or
other communications with us with our
affiliates.
Affiliate Marketing Opt-Out: Federal law gives you the right to limit some but not all marketing from our affiliates. You may limit our partner companies, from marketing their products and services to you based on certain information that we collect and share with them. This includes both "experience" and "nonexperience" information that we have, including your income or financial status, your account history with us and your credit history. If you do not want our partner companies to market to you based on this information you may opt-out of this marketing at any time by calling us at 1-813-384-2300 or write us at Check Savers, Attn: Privacy Officer, 206 Apollo Beach Blvd., Apollo Beach, FL 33572. Your choice to limit marketing offers from our affiliates will apply indefinitely unless you notify us otherwise.
Regardless of these opt out elections, we may still share information in other ways that are permitted by law, for example, as needed to service your relationship with us.
