Co-branded relationships
chagasale.com has established relationships with other parties to offer you the benefit of additional products and services which we ourselves do not offer. We offer you access to these other parties either through the use of hyperlinks to their sites from our site, or through offering “co-branded” sites in which the same URL, domain name or pages within a domain name on the Internet is shared between ourselves and the collaborating party. In some cases you may be required to submit information for the purposes of registering or applying for products and services provided by such co-branded partners and we may not have any control over the information you submit to such parties. In such cases, you should note their Privacy Policy before responding to any offers, products or services provided by such other parties.
