We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above.

We may also use such aggregated information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target. We may make use of the personal information we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers’ wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience. Even though we only disclose aggregate information that is not personally-identifiable to advertisers without your consent, when you click on or otherwise interact with an advertisement there is a possibility that the advertiser may assume that you meet the target criteria they selected.

In the future, if you do not wish to have your e-mail address or other contact information used for promotional purposes by the Company, you can opt-out by sending an email to liquidambargallery@gmail.com. If we have sent you a promotional e-mail, you may send us a return e-mail asking to be omitted from future e-mail distributions. This opt-out may not apply to information provided to the Company as a result of a product purchase, warranty registration, product service experience or other transactions.
