Thank you for being an email subscriber to “Ponder on This.” I appreciate your interest in this daily (weekday) message service, and hope that you find the inspirational and/or thought-provoking posts to be of value. Please note that in order to process your personal data (i.e., in this case email address) following the most current legislation, I am respecting the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) policies and practices that came into effect on May 25, 2018.
Under the GDPR, all businesses that hold your personal data must provide you with clear details and information as it pertains the ongoing processing of your personal data.

Since this service began in 1999 my policy has always been NOT to share, rent, or sell email addresses to anyone.
