Why do I need to sign up to use the RD Event Manager?

There are a number of reasons:

1. To ensure that only genuine event organisers can add info to the RD.
   • To ensure your email address is being used with your permission.
   • To ensure that only a genuine email address is used as your username.
   • To confirm that we have your correct email address should we need to contact you regarding the event details you have added.
2. To enable us to confirm with you if we are told that an event has been cancelled/changed.
3. To allow us to send you service announcements, Riding Diary update information, new services available, etc.

We aim to protect you and to protect the integrity of the Riding Diary website.

Who are Aweber?

Aweber are the company we pay to handle the emailing practicalities on our behalf.  Using them means that we can send our emails efficiently to a large group of people who want to use a service we offer; for example, the Riding Diary Judges List, or the Riding Diary Event Manager.  We therefore do not have to send blind-copied emails to a group, we do not have to deal with email addresses that bounce or ensuring that anyone who un-subscribes is removed from our list immediately.  This is all done for us by them - a service that we pay them for. Needless to say, they do not have permission to use our group of email addresses themselves.

We categorically do not pass your email address onto any third party.  Nor do we accept payment from companies to send emails to you on their behalf.  The only emails you will receive once you sign up are from us.  And on each email that we send to you via Aweber, there is always the option to un-subscribe.

If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
Jane Waters
