To remove "Email Permission" field

Hi There,

Can we remove the “Email Permission” field from edit profile form?

Under the edit profile section of the members section on the website, it gives customers the chance to update their info. The last box is a drop down to ask for opt in or opt out of emails. Is there a way to remove this? We do not send or manage or email subscriptions through Vin65- we use MailChimp.

Thanks,
Hardik Bhimani
