E-mail Addresses
When you provide us your e-mail address we will not rent, sell, or exchange your e-mail address with a third party for any purpose. You may unsubscribe to any one of our e-mail newsletters by following the unsubscribe information found at the end of each newsletter.

On occasion we will try to contact you regarding special offers and promotions for Family resources that we think you would find valuable. You may request to no longer receive special e-mail offers from us by following the opt-out instructions found in any offer.

Requests for Magazines
When you request a magazine from us, we need to collect and store your name, address, and other basic personally identifiable information to provide you with the requested product or service and for billing purposes. Collecting your name and address will also enable us to offer you, by direct mail, products from Home Educating Family and other select sources that we think would be of interest to you. After receiving the product or service requested, you may "opt-out" of receiving these direct mail offers by sending an e-mail stating your request to opt-out along with your complete name and mailing address to customerservice@homeeducatingfamily.com. This information is necessary so we can accurately process your request.

Your e-mail address will be obtained during the online ordering process for the purpose of corresponding with you about your purchase and to occasionally notify you of additional online shopping opportunities. You may opt-out of receiving any subsequent shopping opportunities by following the unsubscribe information found in each e-mail announcement. Again, we will not rent, sell, or exchange your e-mail address with a third party for any purpose.
