Membership Emails
Below is a sample of the emails you can expect to receive when signed up to Balsam Hill.
We write to confirm that your request to opt-out of the sale of your personal information to third parties has been completed. Section 1798.120 of the California
Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), grants consumers from California the right, at any time, to direct a business not to sell his or her personal information to third parties.
Please understand that Balsam Hill does not sell or share your personal information to third parties for monetary consideration. However, from time to time, we
make our catalog mailing list (names and mailing addresses only) and general shopping activity available to carefully screened companies whose products may be of interest to you and, in turn, we are able to mail our catalogs to certain customers of other retail
companies. Under the CCPA and existing California law, this qualifies as a "sale" of personal information, which is why we offer the right to opt out in compliance with the CCPA.
In response to the opt-out request we received, we have ceased sharing your personal information with other companies that may send you a catalog. We have also
taken you off our catalog list, or, if you are not yet in our catalog list, you will not receive our catalogs in the future even if you subscribe to the same. Due to the prior scheduling of our catalog printing and distribution, it takes approximately 60 days
to process unsubscribe requests and you might receive a couple of catalogs from us during that time.
If you have further questions regarding CCPA, you may contact us directly by calling our Customer Service team at 800-350-7114 or by emailing us at customerservice@balsamhill.com.
