What our spam policy is
Spam is, by generally accepted definition, unsolicited bulk e-mail sent
-- usually for marketing purposes -- to people who either have no reasonable
expectation of receiving
it or have specifically requested it not be sent. We consider spam to
be an invasion of privacy and will never send unsolicited e-mails of this
type. Our electronic mailing policy
is “opt-in”, so we will not send you any e-mails without your express
permission or your reasonable expectation. Therefore, all of our electronic
publications are sent only to those who have either expressly subscribed
to them or have “opted-in” to receive further electronic mailings from
us. If, for some reason, we have your e-mail address without knowing whether
your preference is to “opt-in” or “opt-out” of further mailings, we may
send you an initial unsolicited e-mail asking whether you would prefer
to “opt-in” to further mailings. We will always make it easy for you to
“opt-out” of receiving further electronic mail from us.
What you should know about the limitations of our Privacy Policy
You need to be aware that any personal data voluntarily disclosed by
you on
bulletin boards, in chat rooms, in e-mail notes or in any other
public forum provided
by our organization, could potentially be accessed
and “harvested” by third parties
and is therefore not subject to our privacy
policy. In addition, external web sites linked
to by any of our web sites
may not adhere to our Privacy Policy, and you should refer to their Privacy
Policy to understand the rules under which they operate.
