Email Policy

AACE does not sell, rent, or exchange email addresses of its members, customers, and website users. 

AACE uses email addresses to send the following:

1. "Must Have" messages that help to service AACE members, customer, and website users including answers to questions; acknowledgments of the receipt of membership/subscription applications, renewal notices, and other orders.

2. Occasional "Member, Customer, & Website User Update" announcements about AACE services that we believe to be of some importance these groups. These announcements are usually brief, straightforward messages that contain pointers to online resources where readers can explore the information more fully.

3. Email messaging that is part of a program for which the user has registered (e.g. an AACE Digital Library Table of Contents Alert email).

4. Email distribution lists targeted at AACE groups (e.g. specific conference attendees or journal subscribers, etc.). 

AACE created and supported email distribution lists such as the Eductech listserv have "unsubscribe" instructions.

Postal Mail Policy

AACE uses member and customer postal addresses to mail AACE related information that fall into categories #1 and #2 above.

The names and mailing addresses of members may be occasionally rented to outside organizations for the purposes of sending mailing packages that have been carefully screened by authorized AACE staff for their suitability. Materials must be of an educational nature for AACE to rent its list. AACE licenses mailing list usage for one-time only--the standard mailing list rental practice, and renters are asked to sign their agreement to this practice.  AACE does not rent telephone or email addresses.
