To ensure that the email we send you ends up in your inbox, and isn’t mistakenly sent to the junk folder, please whitelist our email addresses, which are support@otonomy.ca and newsletter@otonomy.ca. It is important to be notified when buyers and sellers reach out to you.

Below is information on how to whitelist us with Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, and Thunderbird. Even if your ISP or email program is not listed, with these instructions you should be able to figure out how to whitelist our email address at any ISP or with any email program.

Also, if you find Otonomy.ca in your spam or junk folder, please take that opportunity to tell your mail program that it is not spam by hitting the “not spam”, “not junk” or similar button, as that will train your program to whitelist it.
