The form may also request demographic information, which you are not required to provide, including: your gender, marital status, education and occupation; your household size and income; the number of drivers in your household; the make, model and age of your car; the make, model and features of your car audio system; whether you own or lease your car; information about your commute and the amount of time you spend driving; and your favorite musicians and types of music. We may supplement the information you provide us by acquiring additional information from third parties or technologies.
