Information used by Third Parties
It is The Water Management Society's policy to never provide your personal information to third parties without your express permission or only in instances where such disclosure is needed to process transactions or provide products or services you have requested. So, we may share member information with selected partners/third parties, for example, to provide you with information about additional products that might be of interest to you or to enable you to take advantage of special partner programs. We will not otherwise disclose member personal and account information unless we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make contact with or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of The Water Management Society, our members, or others, or where The Water Management Society has good belief that the law requires such disclosure. Neither will The Water Management Society, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that The Water Management Society stores or transmits for its members. The circumstances under which The Water Management Society will disclose such electronic member communications are when:
1. It is necessary in order to provide service to the member
2. It is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of The Water Management Society and its members
3. It is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants or other legal processes that The Water Management Society determines in its sole discretion to be valid and enforceable
4. It is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently obtained by The Water Management Society and appear to appertain to the commission of a crime.
The Water Management Society disclaims any intention to censor, edit or engage in ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted through its facilities by members or others. The Water Management Society will, however, review, delete or block access to communications that may harm The Water Management Society, its members or third parties. The grounds on which The Water Management Society may take such action include, but are not limited to, actual or potential violations of The Water Management Society 's Terms of Use.

Unsubscribing
We work hard to ensure that our visitors and members only receive the communication they wish to have or that we are obliged to provide. As such you can unsubscribe from any newsletter or special report/offer communication any time. At the bottom of every email and newsletter we send out is a link that allows you to unsubscribe from these communications. That link also helps you change email addresses quickly and easily.
