Email Marketing Information Collected and How it is Used.
The USSRC collects and maintains an opt-in submission e-mail subscription list which we use to
send e-mail messages about new and interesting space and aviation science.
If your child subscribes to the list, you will be notified and given the opportunity to unsubscribe them.
Unless otherwise indicated, information is collected via a web page form.
The first name is collected for the purpose of personally addressing e-mail messages to the child.
The e-mail address is collected to allow us to send messages about the USSRC or the USSRC's
web site updates.
The postal zip code is collected to help us evaluate the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, and is
never correlated to a child for reasons other than providing the USSRC with demographic data.
The date of birth is collected with the intent of eventually sending the child a birthday greeting; also
to let us know that the child is in the correct age group for our site. The birthdate is also required so
that we may comply with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. A child's
age is not associated with a name in this analysis.
The format of the message is collected indirectly through the first e-mail message. The format can
either be plain text, or like a web page, in color.

subscribed to our mailing list.
