PRIVACY AND SECURITY

We have created this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy and the protection of your information. We hate spam too!

MAILING LIST

Our email marketing is permission based. If you received a mailing from us, it's because our records show that you signed up for our mailing list or that you have an existing relationship with us and have requested email communication from Simply Straws in the past. We respect your time and attention by controlling the frequency of our mailings. If you have received unwanted or unsolicited email sent via this system or purporting to be sent via this system, please forward a copy of that email along with your comments to wecare@simplystraws.com.

TO UNSUBSCRIBE

We also want to make it easy for you to remove your email address from our mailing list. At the bottom of every email is a link that allows you to change your email preferences, or to unsubscribe. Just follow the Unsubscribe link at the end of any email.
