Obviously a misunderstanding on my part. Sorry about that.
Kenny
Thank you. Very helpful. I endorse your concluding remarks about 'best of intentions' and 'oversights'.
Ian
I agree that when I apply to enter a tournament - or otherwise get in touch with a Congress/Tournament organiser (say, a query only), I expect him or her to 'harvest' my email address so that he/she can 'ping' me in future. Basically, simply by contacting him/her, I am giving implicit permission/authorisation.
All
It's just that I don't understand why my email address should be in a grading programme at all. If children's email addresses are in there, too, that would seem a concern. But, would children's email addresses be listed rather than,say, a parent's or guardian's? Depends on age, I suppose. What purpose or need is there for email addresses in the grading programme?
