Simple emailing question
Can someone tell me if the following is legal?
Can I place two links on a webpage that basically say:
"START sending me the monthly program schedule. Here is my email address."
AND
"STOP sending me the monthly program schedule. Here is my email address."
The links would open a "mailto:" window with the subject of "Start" or "Stop"
See here: http://www.townofpittsford.org/LibraryTest
There are no ads or solicitations etc. just the monthly program schedule as seen here: http://www.townofpittsford.org/files/publications/lib-this.pdf
The link would go to the librarian handling the list. She would add or remove the name manually from a "group" and then send the .pdf attachment to the email address. I THINK there might be some anti-spam law that we might be in violation of but since it's not "commercial" we might be OK. Anyone know FOR SURE?
Thanks.

Doesn't this qualify as a "privacy policy"?

It is on the bottom of EVERY page on the site.
(Including the "LibraryTest" link I provided in my original post.)
As for "visible link to automatically unsubscribe " - does the "STOP" link (see original question) qualify

Instead of the "mailto", please look at this page and tell me if it is how this should be handled. Thanks.
