your name or address.
Consumer Freedom Alliance does not collect any personally identifying
information, such as names, addresses or e-mail addresses,
without the knowledge and consent of the individual user. That

to provide other information about yourself, such as your age,
likes, dislikes, etc.
Consumer Freedom Alliance does not use "cookies" to keep, and sometimes
track, information about you. Cookies are small pieces of data
that are sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on
your computer's hard drive.

be used to fulfill a specific purpose, including our efforts to
provide you with services, products and offers customized to your
interests. And we may send you e-mail notices about
upcoming products, services, and events that
we think might interest you. You may opt out of receiving future
mailings from us by following the instructions in the e-mail you
receive from us.
