We offer a Client Loyalty program (“Client Loyalty Program”) as a financial incentive to consumers who allow us to retain and share their Personal Information. These incentives generally include complimentary or discounted products and other special offers. For more information on our, Client Loyalty Program log in to your account. Additionally, in exercising your rights under this California Privacy Policy, if you choose to delete your data or opt-out of its sale, such an election will effectively prevent access to your Client Loyalty Program and/or your participation in our MemberBenefits Program.
