Cost-U-Less’s Privacy Commitment: Cost-U-Less values its relationship with you. Protecting the privacy of your information is of the greatest importance to us.

You Don’t Need to "Opt-Out". We like to think that Spam is something that you eat while camping not something that should fill your inbox. Some companies allow access to your nonpublic, personal information by nonaffiliated third parties so they can market their products and services to you. Several laws give you the option of "opting-out" of this type of information sharing. However, at Cost-U-Less we do not share your information with nonaffiliated third parties for their marketing purposes, unless you specifically direct us to do so. Therefore, at Cost-U-Less, you don’t need to "opt-out."
