Specifically, we use your information to help you complete your submission, to communicate with you, to provide service and support, and to update you on services and benefits. Occasionally we may also use your information to contact you for market research regarding ABF services. We will give you the opportunity to opt-out of market research and customer surveys.

ABF will not share your personal information with a business partner or any unrelated third party company unless you give your permission. Your permission will be requested when you submit your information. ABF shares visitors information across ABF business entities and our affiliated federations, within the usage limits described above in "How we use it".
Choice
You can subscribe to receive some service-specific information and ABF-wide marketing communications. ABF-wide communications may include new information, special offers or possibly an invitation to participate in market research. We give you a choice regarding ABF-wide communications by postal mail, email and telephone.
ABF will not sell, rent or lease your personally identifiable information to unrelated third party companies. Some ABF services are linked with those from other unrelated third party companies, some which offer you the option to share personal data you give with both ABF and the third party. We will not share your personal information with those third party companies unless you make that choice.
Links provided on abf-online.org to third party web sites are provided as a convenience and ABF does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from ours. ABF does not endorse or make any representations about them. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is covered by their privacy policies, not the ABF Privacy Policy. Some third-party companies may choose to share their personal data with ABF; that sharing is governed by that third-party company's privacy policy.
