5. Outreach Communications and Your Right to Opt Out

5.1 Professional Outreach

As part of our publishing activities, Bilateral Navigator may send email communications to professionals whose careers, expertise, or affiliations are relevant to one or more bilateral country editions. These communications are sent for legitimate business and professional purposes, including invitations to contribute to our publications and informational messages about the Bilateral Navigator project.

We make every effort to ensure that our outreach is targeted, relevant, and respectful. We contact individuals based on their publicly available professional profiles and credentials, and we believe in good faith that the information we share may be of genuine professional interest to them.

5.2 Immediate Opt-Out

We fully respect every individual's right not to receive communications from us. If you receive a communication from Bilateral Navigator and do not wish to receive any further messages, you may opt out at any time by:

(a) clicking the unsubscribe link included in any email;
(b) replying to the email with a request to be removed; or
(c) contacting us at office@bilateralnavigator.com with a request to be removed from our contact list.

Upon receiving your opt-out request, we will promptly (and in any event within no more than ten (10) business days) cease all further communications to you, remove your contact information from our active outreach lists, and add your email address to our internal suppression list to prevent future contact.

5.3 Data Deletion Upon Request

In addition to opting out of communications, you may request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. Upon receiving such a request, we will delete your personal data from our systems within a reasonable time, except to the extent that we are required to retain certain data by applicable law, or except for the minimum information necessary to maintain our suppression list (to ensure that we do not inadvertently contact you again in the future).

5.4 Our Commitment

Bilateral Navigator is committed to conducting all outreach in a professional, transparent, and respectful manner. We do not send deceptive or misleading communications. Every outreach email clearly identifies Bilateral Navigator as the sender, explains the purpose of the communication, and provides a straightforward means of opting out. We maintain our suppression list diligently and take all reasonable steps to avoid contacting individuals who have asked not to be contacted.
