Our reasonable determination of the estimated value of the personal information you provide to us when you sign up for that benefit takes into consideration a number of factors, including, among other things, our estimates regarding the anticipated revenue generated from the personal information and the actual and anticipated expenses that we incur in the collection, storage, and use of such personal information in connection with our services.
