IMPORTANT PRIVACY CHOICES

We respect your privacy choices. Customers who have purchased products or services from the New York Life Family of Companies have the option to tell us not to share information as follows:

• Within the New York Life Family of Companies to let you know about our products and services. The information we share may include your contact information, household and financial information, and information about your transactions with us.
