You can always refuse to supply personal data; however, doing so may prevent you from receiving our Services or engaging in other activities on the Site.
In no event will we ever request sensitive personal data (e.g., health information, religious preferences, etc.) from you, and we expressly request that you not provide any such sensitive personal data to us.
