Users have the option not to share their information for purposes that are not directly related to the Sites at the time Blumeo requests the information.

Users who no longer wish to receive the newsletter or promotional materials may refuse to receive these communications by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link contained in the email or by email to the address mentioned at the end of the document or by sending a request written to the postal address mentioned at the end of the document. Users of the Services are always informed when their information is collected by third parties. Blumeo does this so that Users can make a correct choice as to whether or not to proceed with services that require a third party company.

Users should review the CP periodically, as it applies to all Users of the Services.
