Discontinuance of Emails
In accordance with CAN-SPAM legislation, it is our policy to
include instructions and means for removal from our database
at any time in an automated fashion. We provide instructions
for removal at the bottom of every email sent from our
company, with the exception of paid subscription newsletter
issues, which require the subscriber to cancel their
membership in order to discontinue receiving issues of the
publication.
At the bottom of each email communication we include
detailed instructions for removal from our email lists,
including:
1. Displaying the recipient's email address that is in our
database and receiving the message.
2. Providing a customized URL that allows the recipient to
click to our web site and automatically manage their
subscriptions, including canceling all email subscriptions
or selecting to receive no further messages from our firm.
3. An active email address to contact us in order to request
manual removal or discontinuance of future email messages
from our firm.
4. Our postal address for mailing a formal request to our
firm.
At our web site, we allow subscribers to manage their
subscriptions, including:
1. Selecting to discontinue a subscription.
2. Selecting to be put on a Do Not Mail List.
BFP maintains a DO NOT MAIL LIST. This is a list of
subscribers who have decided that they never wish to receive
another message from our firm. These email addresses are
collected and maintained in a separate file in our database.
These individuals will not receive future emails from BFP,
including free email newsletters, advertisements directly
from BFP, or advertisements from third party advertisers
sent on our behalf. Email addresses on this list will not
receive future email messages from our firm. Subscribers are
encouraged to make sure that the address receiving emails
from BFP is in fact the same address in our database by
clicking the unique URL at the end of an email message from
our firm, or forwarding the received email communication to
our
customer service department so that we may see which email
address was the recipient of an email from our firm.
Should you have any questions regarding our Email Policy or
other privacy related issues,
please contact us so that we can address your concerns.
