assure that those who have requested to NOT receive information from BFP
do not receive unwanted advertisements or offers from our firm.
We occasionally send email advertisements and offers to our subscribers or

BFP maintains a DO NOT MAIL LIST. This is a list of subscribers who
have decided that they never wish to receive another message from our
firm. These email addresses are collected and maintained in a separate
file in our database. These individuals will not receive future emails
from BFP, including free email newsletters, advertisements directly from
BFP, or advertisements from third party advertisers sent on our behalf.
Email addresses on this list will not receive future email messages from
our firm. Subscribers are encouraged to make sure that the address
receiving emails from BFP is in fact the same address in our database by
clicking the unique URL at the end of an email message from our firm, or
forwarding the received email communication to our customer service
department so that we may see which email address was the recipient of an
email from our firm.
