Exclusion from Distribution
Lists
To Check or not to Check….....
On all membership renewal forms, CASLPA has allowed you the
opportunity to check a box which indicates you would like your
name removed from membership lists which are distributed to
third parties. CASLPA is legally required to provide you with
this choice under Federal bill C6. For your information and
clarification, we would like to take this opportunity to explain
a few issues regarding your selection.
CASLPA generally provides its membership list to two different
types of groups.
- It is rented to parties who we deem have something of interest
to offer our membership and who pay for one-time rights to
the address records. These generally include catalogue and
other resource distributors. All purchasers must first apply
for access to the list and a copy of the mailing piece must
be provided in advance for approval. Sale of the mailing list
does not constitute CASLPA's endorsement or support of any
particular company, product or service. We do not usually
provide the mailing list for purposes of career recruitment.
Address information only (no other membership records or data)
is provided. Email data is not released to anyone under any
circumstances. All purchasers are required to sign a confidentiality
and licensing agreement which clearly states, among other
limitations and restrictions, that the list is provided for
one-time use only and the purchaser may not re-use, sell,
lend, copy or alter the list in any way. They are also bound
by the legal limitations of bill C6 which ensures your right
to privacy.
- The list (mailing addresses and in certain circumstances
phone numbers) is also provided on a complimentary basis to
CASLPA Affinity Partners. These are companies that CASLPA
does endorse and has signed an exclusive partnership agreement
with, such as our insurance carriers, MBNA Canada (CASLPA
credit card), and other selected discount partners. These
parties do not pay for access to the membership list as they
are usually offering CASLPA and/or its members some other
type of monetary compensation/sponsorship as part of their
partnership agreement. These communications are completely
pre-approved by CASLPA and are produced and conducted entirely
at the expense of the partner. As above, a confidentiality/licensing
agreement must be signed.
- Either of the above parties may also choose to distribute
their information by purchasing the rights to include an insert
in any regular CASLPA mailing (such as Communique). There
is no way to eliminate receipt of these mailings.
It is most important for you to be aware that if you checked
the box to request that your name be removed from the list distributed
to third parties you will not only cease to receive unwanted
"junk mail" but will also NOT get other important
announcements that may be of interest and benefit to you - such
as information and application packages for liability insurance,
membership benefit and discount notices etc.
If you are unsure of your current status or want to change
your selection, simply contact national office and we'd be happy
to take care of it for you. If you mistakenly receive unwanted
communications, please ignore them, accept our apologies and
contact the office to clarify your status.
Our commitment is to provide CASLPA members with the very best
benefits possible but with the least amount of disturbance and
inconvenience. If you have any questions or comments, suggestions
in this regard, please don't hesitate to contact us.
