User Information:
In our effort to provide personalization and some services, we may at times ask you to submit information about yourself. You never have to answer these questions. However, if you should elect to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with some of the services dependent upon the collection of this information. We will use your personal information to send you e-mails and certain marketing communications that we think may be of interest to you, such as new product offering and/or new updates. You may stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from The Crab Broker by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive. The Crab Broker does not make your personal information available to third parties outside of the company. The Crab Broker may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. When our website asks users to enter especially sensitive information such as a credit card number, that information is encrypted and is protected by encryption software  from VeriSign that is recognized as state-of-the-art encryption software. While on a secure page, such as an order form or for registering, the lock icon on your browser will be locked. We also restrict access to this information on our computers to the processing clerks who have a need to know. The Crab Broker promises to use any financial information that you submit solely for billing and payment purposes for that special transaction.
