Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify Lanier Lion and change your password. Unless you specify that you prefer not to hear from us, we may use the email address you provide at the time of registration to contact you for promotional or other purposes. You may have these communications terminated at any time by opting out through your member profile on the Website, or by clicking on any "unsubscribe" link contained in a promotional email.
