Nobody else that I know on our block received them. (btw, At that time, I actually called the company and thanked them for the calendars. But I didn't think about the situation until very recently re: that they knew where I live when I searched their site. So, we must be careful when we search various local companies. Who knows who's working there, and now they know where we live, right?
