Registration/Member Data.

When you register, you provide us with some personal data (including your email address and mobile number). You can also tell us more about yourself through your account pages or through site  features such as Wish Lists. Occasionally, a co-brand partner may provide us with data about you.  We use registration and member data for many purposes, including to target ads to you and to email  you (including newsletters and alerts). In most cases, you can configure your account to turn these  emails on and off. However, some administrative emails (such as emails about user agreement changes  or communications) are not optional while you have an account.
