5. Third Party Links, Data and Content Serving

A.G.E. Series’s Sites may include links to the websites of our business partners, vendors and advertisers and content served by third parties. The inclusion of any link does not imply A.G.E.

These linked websites have separate and independent privacy policies, which we encourage you to read carefully. We have no control over such websites and therefore have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use or disclose and otherwise treat your Personal Information. We may also provide your information to our affiliated companies and successors. We reserve the right to provide third parties with aggregate statistics about our clients, traffic, viewing and purchasing patterns and other site information. This data reflects site usage patterns, but does not contain personally identifiable information about any individual user.

Please remember to include your email address, name, mailing address and telephone number in any request. The best way to opt-out is to use the link at the bottom of email messages you receive. That tool provides a one-click confirmation opt-out. If you choose not to use that link, you may also send an email request to us with the word “REMOVE” in the subject line and your email address in the body. This secondary method may take up to 30 days to remove your address from the file.
