Your device may allow you to opt out of these push notifications by accessing your device's application or notification settings for the Camping World app. Camping World has no control over the application permission notifications that may be provided to you on download from a third party app store or the ability of your device to opt-out of these push notifications.

Your ability to turn off location settings and the method for doing so will vary according to your mobile device. You may not be able to deactivate location based notifications without turning off all location services on certain mobile devices.

Sale of Businesses As we continue to develop our business, we may sell certain portions of our assets.

Choices You Have About Our Collecting, Using, and Sharing Your Information It is possible for you to use much of our site without giving us any personally identifiable information. When you do register with us or give us personally identifiable information, you will have an opportunity -- at the time we collect your information -- to limit e-mail communications from us and from our third-party partners. You can request at any time that we not send future e-mail to you either by unsubscribing from the communication or by contacting us. The Type of Security We Provide The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us. We take technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to protect all visitors' information. When you provide credit card information, we use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect it. There are some things that you can do to help protect the security of your information as well. For instance, never give out your password, since this is what is used to access all of your account information. Also remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you finish surfing the Web so that other people using the same computer won't have access to your information. We NEVER store any of your credit card information on our site. All transactions are brokered through a third-party merchant gateway via a secure connection (Authorize.Net) and therefore we validate every transaction individually.
