When the user chooses to use these additional features, APR may require the user to provide “Contact Information” in addition to other personal information that may be required to complete a transaction such as a phone number, and billing and shipping addresses. Occasionally, APR may also request information such as the user’s site preferences and demographics, which will help APR better serve the user and its other users in the future.
