From time to time, we may ask you for other information such as general demographic, family or personal health information or your interests. We only collect personal information if we ask you, and obtain your consent to its use, or if your consent is implied through your conduct with us since the purpose of the collection, use or disclosure is obvious and you voluntarily provide the information, or if our collection, use and disclosure of the personal information is required or authorized by law to be done without your consent.*

You agree to provide true, accurate and complete information about yourself.
