It's important to find out what happens to the personal information you provide to companies, marketers, and government agencies. These organizations may use your information simply to process your order; they may use it to tell you about products, services, or promotions; or they may share your information with others. More organizations are offering people choices about how their personal information is used. For example, many let you "opt-out" of having your information shared with others or used for promotional purposes. 

Learn more about the choices you have to protect your personal information by contacting the following organizations.

Credit Bureaus

The three major credit bureaus may have different requirements on how to opt-out. You can write your own letter or use our Sample Opt-Out Letter <http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/cred-ltr.htm> to request that your personal information not be shared with others or used for promotional purposes.

The national credit bureaus offer a toll-free number that enables consumers to opt-out of all pre-approved credit offers with just one phone call. Call 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688) for more information.

Department of Motor Vehicles

State departments of motor vehicles (DMVs) maintain a lot of personal information about you. (Just look at your driver's license, for example.) The Drivers Protection Act <http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/2721.shtml> gives you privacy rights with regard to information maintained by DMVs. The law lists the ways this information can be used - a DMV may distribute personal information for things like law enforcement, driver safety, insurance underwriting, etc. 

A recent amendment to the law now prohibits a DMV from distributing your personal information for other types of uses, including for direct marketing, unless you give them permission.

Contact the DMV in your state for more information.
