fulfilled through our web site, by email, and by postal mail. Users can

We
offer free 30 day trial memberships to our newsletters. Users who sign up

their subscription account, issues of the newsletter, and information
regarding our services by way of email during their trial membership. At

and our partners or advertisers. Users who do not wish to receive future
emails following a trial membership should follow the instructions within

also offer free email newsletters, which we make available to individuals
in several manners.
We allow Users to visit our web site, complete a form, and in doing so
agree to receive our free email newsletter(s).
We offer our free newsletters to Users through partners web sites and web

newsletter(s) at the end of their paid subscription period.

Email Advertisements
We
utilize email as a communication channel to send information regarding our
products and services to our current paid subscribers, free trial members,
and subscribers to our free email newsletters. We send these email
messages only to individuals who have directly requested information from
our firm (i.e. signed up for a free trial membership or a free newsletter)
or have or in the past have had a direct relationship with our firm (i.e.
a previous customer).
WE ALLOW ANY CURRENT OR FORMER CUSTOMER, TRIAL MEMBER, OR RECIPIENT OF A
FREE EMAIL NEWSLETTER FROM BFP TO CHOOSE TO DISCONTINUE RECEIVING EMAIL
MESSAGES FROM OUR COMPANY AT ANY TIME. See "Discontinuance of Emails"
below.
Third Party Email Advertising
We
occasionally advertise via email with qualified third party companies that
are managing their email database(s) of subscribers in accordance with
CAN-SPAM legislation and best industry practices. When we advertise by
email through a third party or through an agency, we do so in accordance
with the following:
1. The advertisement is sent only to users who have agreed to receive
ADVERTISEMENT or SPECIAL OFFER emails from the list owner.
2. The advertisement is sent FROM the company owning the email list
3. The advertisement is clearly marked as an ADVERTISEMENT or SPECIAL
OFFER
4. The firm managing the email list has clear instructions and
functionality in place for prompt removal from the email list
5. Our contact information is made available so that recipients can
contact us and instruct us not to send future advertisements.
6. We instruct the firm sending the advertisement on our behalf to compare
BFP's "Do Not Mail" file against their distribution list in order to
assure that those who have requested to NOT receive information from BFP
do not receive unwanted advertisements or offers from our firm.
We occasionally send email advertisements and offers to our subscribers or
members on behalf of third party advertisers or agencies acting on their
behalf, in accordance with CAN-SPAM legislation and best industry
practices. PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION OF USERS WILL NOT BE SOLD
TO A THIRD PARTY ADVERTISER EXCEPT IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF ALL OR
SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF BFP’S ASSETS. However, as part of this advertising
program, BFP will provide the advertiser with the required information
required to fulfill the Users request. This includes, but is not limited
to name, postal address, email address, and phone number. Under no
circumstance will BFP provide an advertiser with any credit card
information from our Users. When we send an advertisement or special offer

with the following:

compared against our internal list prior to sending an advertisement in
order to assure that those who have requested to NOT receive information
from the third party advertiser do not receive unwanted advertisements or
offers.
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.
