Collect Earth Online Terms of Service

By creating an institution you become an “admin” user for that institution. This will automatically subscribe you to the admin mailing list. In addition, any user that you make an admin of your institution will be added to the mailing list.

The content of the emails from the mailing list will be limited to updates about features and release dates, with the very occasional feedback survey.

You will be able to unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email from CEO.

The mailing list is run through a service called HubSpot. Your email will not be shared with any third party organization.
