E-Newsletters
We use Newsletter Plugin to host and manage our e-newsletter service. When you subscribe to one of our e-newsletters, we ask for your name and a valid e-mail address. This is the minimum amount of information we need to fulfill your subscription request.
All newsletters have an option that allows you to cancel or modify your subscription preferences at any time. “Unsubscribe” requests are fulfilled promptly, and no further communications will be sent to you.
We WILL NOT make any personal information about our subscribers available to any third party except as required by law. The Newsletter Plugin stores all the subscribers’ data inside the WordPress blog database, and does not transfer any data to any services of our company. Newsletter Plugin outlines what specific information is gathered on their site and how that information is used.
