To communicate with you, such as through bots (which may be powered by third party vendors and be trained on your inputs through AI-based technology), including to respond to your inquiries/requests and request feedback from you, and to send you important updates and messages about changes to our Services, our Privacy Policy or this Notice and/or other applicable terms and conditions.

What you can do

No setting found that directly changes this practice.

In the CVS documents we searched for this finding, we did not verify a setting that changes this specific practice.

A broader option is available

Depending on your U.S. state of residence, you may have the right to ask CVS to delete personal information it has collected from or about you, subject to certain exceptions.

That is a wider action rather than a privacy setting for this practice — it changes more than this, and it is not the same as turning this off.
