A better service may include (but is not limited to) the ability for Us to personalise Our email communication to You based on identifiable information (e.g. name, DOB).
For this We will ask You to opt-out of Our marketing initiatives; You will automatically be opted-in to these services when You join HWPO Training. If at any stage You would like to opt-in or opt-out You can do so in Your account settings.
