Important Notes
- While registering with these opt-out registries can help reduce the amount of junk mail you receive, it's not a guarantee that you'll never receive any unwanted mail.
- Some companies may not honor opt-out requests, so it's essential to also contact individual companies directly to request removal from their mailing lists.
- Keep in mind that some mailings, such as bills, statements, and official documents, are not considered junk mail and will continue to be sent to you.
By registering with these opt-out registries, you can take a step towards reducing the amount of junk mail you receive and helping to protect your personal information.
