Modern Homestead Alaska does not sell its newsletter subscriber list or email addresses to advertisers.
Participation in the Christmas Card Mailing Program does not automatically subscribe you to our email newsletter. Separate permission is required to receive newsletter communications.
Christmas Card Mailing Program
Modern Homestead Alaska offers a voluntary Christmas Card Mailing Program as a way for Jessica and Aaron to share holiday greetings and appreciation with members of their community.
Participation is free, and no purchase or payment is required.
2026 Christmas Card Mailing
For the 2026 holiday season, Modern Homestead Alaska will make a maximum of 500 Christmas cards available.
Registration closes on December 1, 2026, or when 500 eligible registrations have been received, whichever occurs first.
Cards will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis according to the order in which completed, eligible registrations are received.
Participants must be at least 18 years old, provide accurate and complete mailing information, and submit no more than one registration per household.
Duplicate, incomplete, or invalid submissions may be excluded.
Submitting the registration form does not guarantee that a Christmas card will be delivered. Postal delays, delivery issues, and circumstances outside our control may affect delivery.
Information Collected for Christmas Card Mailings
When you register for the Christmas Card Mailing Program, we collect the information necessary to administer the mailing, which may include:
First and last name
Mailing address, including street address, city, state, ZIP code, and country
Email address, if voluntarily provided
Permission preferences for future mailings
Submission information used to organize registrations and determine eligibility
Mailing addresses are required to participate because a physical mailing address is necessary to send a Christmas card.
Providing an email address is optional unless otherwise indicated for a specific communication purpose.
How Christmas Card Information Is Used
Information submitted through the Christmas Card Mailing Program may be used to:
Organize and review registrations
Determine eligibility and submission order
Enforce the one-registration-per-household limit
Allocate the available Christmas cards
Prepare and send Christmas cards
Respond to questions or requests about the program
Maintain mailing information for future Christmas cards and occasional personal mailings when permission has been provided
Calculate general participation statistics for internal planning and business presentations without identifying individual participants
Christmas Card Mailing Program information will not be used to automatically enroll participants in email marketing or newsletter subscriptions.
Permission for Future Mailings
During registration, participants may voluntarily choose to allow Modern Homestead Alaska to retain their mailing information for future Christmas cards and occasional personal mailings from Alaska.
This permission is optional and is not required to participate in the 2026 Christmas Card Mailing Program.
If permission is provided, Modern Homestead Alaska may retain the participant's name and mailing address for future mailings consistent with that permission.
Providing permission does not guarantee that future Christmas cards or other mailings will be sent.
If permission is not provided, mailing information will be deleted after the 2026 Christmas Card Mailing Program is completed, subject to applicable legal or operational retention requirements.
Participants may withdraw their permission or request removal or correction of their mailing information at any time by contacting info@modernhomesteadalaska.com.
Protection of Mailing Information
Modern Homestead Alaska does not sell mailing addresses or provide them to sponsors, television networks, production companies, or other independent business partners for their own marketing purposes without appropriate permission.
Mailing information may be processed by Squarespace, printing and mailing providers, or other service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website, manage registrations, maintain submission records, or prepare and deliver Christmas cards.
We take reasonable measures to protect this information and limit its use to the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Christmas Card Mailing Terms & Conditions
The Christmas Card Mailing Program is also governed by our separate Christmas Card Mailing Terms & Conditions, which provide additional information about eligibility, registration deadlines, card availability, mailing procedures, and other program requirements.
Please review those terms before submitting a registration.
Contact and Partnership Forms
When you submit a contact or partnership form, the information you provide is used to review and respond to your message or inquiry.
Information submitted through these forms may be processed or stored by Squarespace and other service providers used to operate the website, receive form submissions, or manage business communications.
Media Partnerships and Audience Information
Modern Homestead Alaska may collaborate with television networks, production companies, media organizations, sponsors, and other business partners to develop, produce, distribute, or promote content, programs, and special opportunities for our community.
As Modern Homestead Alaska grows, we may use information about our audience to evaluate business opportunities, develop partnerships, and demonstrate the reach and engagement of our community.
Audience Statistics and Business Presentations
We may compile and share aggregated or de-identified audience information with prospective or existing business partners, including television networks, production companies, advertisers, and sponsors.
This information may include:

Other general audience measurements that do not identify individual visitors or participants
This information is intended to demonstrate the size, interests, and engagement of the Modern Homestead Alaska community.
We do not intentionally include individual names, mailing addresses, email addresses, or other directly identifying contact information in these audience reports.
Personal Information and Media Partners
Entering into a television, production, sponsorship, or promotional agreement does not automatically authorize Modern Homestead Alaska to provide personal contact information to the participating organization.
We do not sell or provide our community's identifiable contact information to independent media partners for their own marketing purposes without an appropriate legal basis, including consent where required.
If a future partnership involves a proposed use or disclosure of personal information beyond the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, we will evaluate applicable privacy requirements and provide additional notice, obtain consent, or offer applicable privacy choices as required.
Promotional Communications and Partner Offers
From time to time, Modern Homestead Alaska may share information about its television projects, media appearances, collaborations, or sponsored content through its website, YouTube channel, newsletter, or other communication channels.
Such communications will be sent only through channels and for purposes consistent with applicable permissions and legal requirements.
Participation in the Christmas Card Mailing Program does not, by itself, authorize unrelated promotional mailings or the transfer of mailing information to media partners.
Modern Homestead Alaska may also include clearly identified partner offers or promotional materials in communications where appropriate and permitted. The inclusion of a partner offer does not necessarily involve sharing recipient information with that partner.
Future Business Arrangements
If Modern Homestead Alaska enters into a future business arrangement involving personal information, including a qualifying merger, acquisition, business asset transaction, or other arrangement, any proposed transfer or use of personal information will be evaluated under applicable privacy laws and the permissions associated with that information.
This Privacy Policy does not grant unrestricted permission to transfer personal information to a television network, production company, sponsor, or other business partner.
Modern Homestead Alaska intends to maintain responsible stewardship of its community information as its business and media opportunities develop.
