I have a question or a comment about JustParents
We would love to hear from you. Please contact us and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
How do I unsubscribe from emails?
JustParents sends out several types of emails:
- Occasional newsletters about site features and updates. These may also include selected partner offers, but we never sell members' email addresses to advertisers.
- Reminder emails, for example if you have not logged in for a while or if you have a journal on JustParents that has been inactive.
- Notification emails, for example if you receive a new direct message or someone replies to a forum topic you started.
Every email you receive from JustParents includes an unsubscribe link in the footer, which lets you stop that type of email immediately.
You can also manage your email preferences by editing your profile.
