We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act for all commercial emails, defined as messages with the primary purpose of promoting a product or service. To ensure compliance:

Honest Subject Lines: Our email subject lines accurately reflect the content of the message.
Opt-Out Mechanism: Every marketing email includes a clear and conspicuous unsubscribe link or instructions (e.g., “Click here to opt out of future marketing emails”). We process unsubscribe requests within 10 business days.
Physical Address: Each email includes our valid physical postal address: Your Address, or a registered post office box.

4. Consent and Opt-Out

a. Providing Consent

Email: You may consent to receive marketing emails by subscribing to our newsletter, completing a form, or engaging in a transaction with us. Consent may be implied for existing business relationships under the CAN-SPAM Act, but we prefer express consent via opt-in forms.
SMS: We require express written consent for SMS marketing, obtained through clear opt-in methods (e.g., unchecked checkboxes or text-to-join programs).
Double Opt-In: For some campaigns, we use a double opt-in process, where you confirm your subscription via a follow-up email or text.

Legal Compliance: If required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or court order.
Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to you. We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation, but under the CCPA, sharing data for targeted advertising may be considered a “sale.” California residents can opt out of such sharing (see Section 7).
