for instance your name, address and telephone number. Also, the
information we share could include your credit bureau reports, your
transactions with us, your account balance, payment history, or
credit card usage.

We also may share information with other companies outside of AB

of value to you. These companies may be non-financial companies
(such as retailers or direct marketers). These offers are typically
for products and services that you might not otherwise hear about.
