ASHRAE values the privacy and communication preferences of its members and customers and maintains a comprehensive email communication and anti-spam policy in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act.  This policy includes:

The option to opt-out of all emails except transactional relationship email such as those related to member voting rights, dues renewal transactions, and online bookstore purchases.

ASHRAE Does not sell member or customer emails to third parties without prior consent.  In such cases, it is a requirement that those parties have opt-out provisions.

All member and customer emails are kept on a secure server.

ASHRAE reserves the right to contract with vendors to assist ASHRAE with its business processes and services and to provide contact information to such vendors as necessary for them to deliver the services for which they have been retained.

There are numerous e-mail links on the ASHRAE site enabling you to send e-mail to individuals or groups. When you send us an e-mail and request a response, we use the e-mail address you have provided to respond to your inquiry. We periodically log the nature of e-mail requests we receive, which helps us analyze visitor interests overall and identify areas for improvement on the site.
