 I don't know how but I just pulled up the privacy agreement and under each state laws it tell what you can opt out of. I told them not to share or sell my information and send targeted messages. You can type that in. Just keep reading and look for your state.

Under your account you can click on email preferences and you can check opt out of all emails (but can still get emails re your account like when you order something etc).

However when I tried to do this it wouldn't submit, just kept going back to same screen so I don't know.

@on the bay  did you check the box that says "unsubscribe" on the left before you hit submit?

@Sage04,

Yes, thats what I was saying (or meant) that I kept checking that unsubscribe but when I clicked submit it just kept showing the same screen, not confirmed or anything.

I tried several times. I don't know.

Oh wait! @Sage04, you made me want to try again. So I minimized my screen cause thought maybe that was it. Anyway this time up above the selections I see "your preferences have been saved," in I think a tiny green color.

I kept looking for a different screen showing confirmation or something at the bottom that said updated but their message is up above.

So thank you

So yea! and thank you

@on the bay  glad it worked. I did it years ago so I only get emails about packages.

@Sage04I always opt out but it seemed like maybe we had to do that again? not sure because usually i've found that first preference carries over with any new privacy policies but just to make sure. Anyway, yeah I hate to get any emails or mail that I didn't ask for.

but opting out of emails really has nothing to do with them selling your information

[lor23]

I'm really chewing on this one.  Probably wouldn't bother me near as much except for hearing the hosts for years saying we will never sell your information and this email says that is exactly what they are doing.

I just checked out where everyone is talking about changing email preferences.  That only has to do with emails from QVC and it does work.... but it absolutely has nothing to do with the fact that they are selling your information.  I will have to think on this but I think it may be time for me to drop QVC and HSN completely.

@lor23,

Oh I read it as opting out of marketing emails but you may be right that that is just opting out from QVC emails.

I have never heard a host say they don't sell your info, but maybe I've missed that in the past 20 years of the internet.

  I'm not really concerned about this, as every business I deal with does the same, from my insurance company to the university I attended.  I get random emails and send them to junk or block. Every once in a while it's something I'm interested in.
