Smoot Enterprises LLC understands consumers concerns over the use of their personal information. We hope this information will relieve any concerns your company may have regarding our email policies. Smoot Enterprises LLC and its affiliated sites use only an “opt-in or opt out” method of obtaining customer information, and it is not our policy or desire to send unsolicited email.

that the data was collected voluntarily from individuals on website registrations and co-registrations, that the sellers have a right, under any applicable privacy statements, to transfer the data to us, and that Smoot Enterprises LLC has the right to send marketing offers to the individuals.

We hope this information satisfies any questions or concerns you may have regarding the email practices of Smoot Enterprises LLC. If you have additional questions or wish to discuss this matter further, please contact us at: elliot @ elliotaddison.com
