Email and anti-spam policy

We do not support or authorize unsolicited bulk email, deceptive email practices, email address harvesting, or the use of purchased or unlawfully obtained mailing lists.

Business emails sent in connection with this domain are intended for relevant professional recipients and may concern licensing, permissions, rights management, intellectual property, or related commercial matters.

We expect email communications to:

Recipients may opt out of future non-essential communications by replying to the applicable message with an opt-out request or by contacting the address listed below.

Valid opt-out requests will be honored and may be recorded on a suppression list so that the recipient is not included in future non-essential outreach.

We may use third-party email infrastructure or service providers to deliver and manage communications. Those providers are expected to operate in accordance with applicable law and acceptable-use requirements.
