Opt-in only. If the provider accepts the request, the address is stored to send the email digest, in line with the Data Privacy Act (RA 10173). Unsubscribe from any email. Registry-row change notices are not a delivered product on this form.

This is one of the issuances tracked in the Eagle Registry — every DMW, MARINA, and IMO rule governing Filipino seafarers in one place, each with a plain-language summary and a link to the official source.
