EBM Coin privacy and public content

When registering an EBM Coin, you will be given choices about what information you wish to share publicly.

Depending on your selections, your name, photograph, city, country and reflection may appear publicly as part of the coin’s journey. You may also choose to participate anonymously where that option is provided.

Please do not submit:

• Information you do not want displayed publicly
• Another person’s personal information without permission
• Photographs of another person without their consent
• Sensitive personal, medical or financial information

If you would like public information connected to your coin removed or corrected, please contact us through the Contact page.

Your email address will not be displayed publicly.

Registering an EBM Coin does not automatically require you to join Alison Canavan’s general marketing list.

Where available, you may choose separately whether you wish to receive:

• Service updates relating to your coin
• Book and community news
• General reflections, resources and marketing communications

You may update your preferences or unsubscribe using the link provided in our emails.
