If you would like to be on our mailing list, we will ask you to actively opt-in. We might also collect personal information from you about a third party, for instance, if the Website allows you to send an email referring someone to our site or an active promotion, in which case we need to know the name and e-mail address of the recipient. That information will only be used for a specific purpose (delivering the email) and Knots of Fun will not further contact the third party unless the third party contacts us.
