To establish your account with Boxbe, you are asked to provide personal information for registration, including your name, and email address. Boxbe requires your email address and the other personal information and preferences you are required to provide during the signup process to provide Boxbe's services to you, to communicate with you and to otherwise help improve the quality of the messages you receive. If you do not wish to share such information with Boxbe, your sole remedy is to not receive Boxbe's services.
