Posted October 1, 2014
As of December 1, 2014, the Privacy section of your TELUS Home Phone, Optik TV and Internet Service Terms will be updated to include the following information about your email address: "You agree to provide us with your current email address (and to inform us if that email address changes) so we can provide you with tools and services to manage your TELUS account, communicate with you about account-related items on a timely basis, provide news and offers from TELUS and its partners, and seek your views on TELUS products and services."

I viewed the current 'About TELUS - Privacy page'
http://about.telus.com/community/english/privacy
'Your privacy is important to us'
The current privacy commitment says:
'It is important for us to reassure our customers that we will not share their personal information with or sell it to third-party marketers or use that information to enable third party targeted advertisements without their express consent.'
Starting December 1st the Privacy section will be updated to this:
"You agree to provide us with your current email address (and to inform us if that email address changes) so we can provide you with tools and services to manage your TELUS account, communicate with you about account-related items on a timely basis, provide news and offers from TELUS and its partners, and seek your views on TELUS products and services."
