This form will be sent to you by AFD. Each unique record exported from the program or mailing label printed constitues one extraction and must be included on the form.
You are also required to contact the Mailing Preference Service and Telephone Preference Service to check and eliminate address records for any person who does not wish to receive direct mail.
We realise that many of our customers only use Names & Numbers for address management purposes such as address verification or rapid addressing and not the extraction of data or printing of labels.
