About Spam :
"Spam" as unsolicited broadcast or commercial email that is sent to
addresses that do not affirmatively and verifiably request such
material from that specific sender, including but not limited to
advertising, surveys, information pieces, third party spamming,
website addresses, sales, and auctions. "Spam" can be sent via
various media including email, chat, forum advertisements that are
not solicited or approved by recipient or host. To put it simply
"Spam" is all kinds of online promotion that results in annoyance
and complaints by visitors towards our site.
How We Fight Spam :
We handle all complaints from their customers and visitors
immediately after receipt. All such complaints are investigated, and
all parties involved in providing services to abusers are notified.
We also report such companies and individuals to most effective
anti-spam organizations (including but not limited to spews.org,
spamcop.net) who in turn, take all necessary action that these
spammers are shut down.
We never send out unsolicited promotions. We have an internal
anti-spam policy that every employee is monitored against. Every
newsletter, or promo sent to multiple recipients is verified by an
anti-spam specialist. We keep records of who subscribed to what
newsletter, and who unsubscribed from various announcement and
newsletter services.
Affiliate programs and free hosting services are the most common
sources of uncontrolled spam. Some companies outsource these
services to 3rd parties, which makes it difficult for them to stop
unsolicited emails. We manage our affiliate program internally.
Every spam originated by one of it's affiliates results in immediate
termination of the abusing affiliate account. Such accounts are
immediately notified and reported to appropriate authorities.
How to Report Spam :
You need to know how to report spam when you come across an ad that
you never signed up to receive. Simple "Stop spamming me" does not
really help.
We need to know who has sent the spam. In most cases abusers conceal
their identities providing false email addresses and other
originating information. Sometimes it looks as if the spam has
originated from our site. To find out who REALLY is responsible, you
need to send us a copy of a message that you have received,
preferably with e-mail header information.
Anti Spam Policy:
EMAIL MARKETING GUIDELINES
To ensure the high standard of our and our affiliates marketing
practices, we require that you abide by the following email
marketing rules. All affiliates have to understand that all
communication must be consensual!
The guidelines are as follows:
-
The
subject line of an e-mail must be honest and not misleading or
deceptive.
-
Permission of new subscribers must be opt-in, via an empty
checkbox, before mailings commence.
-
A valid
return e-mail address and the physical address of the sender
should be clearly identified. Marketers are encouraged to use
their company or brand names in their domain address and
prominently throughout the message.
-
An e-mail
should clearly identify the sender and the subject matter at the
beginning of the e-mail.
-
All
commercial e-mail (except for billing purposes) must provide
consumers with a clear and conspicuous electronic option to be
removed from lists for future e-mail messages from the sender. The
removal process must be easy to find and easy to use.
-
There
should be alternative methods for terminating a subscription.
Mailing list administrators should make an "out of band" procedure
(e.g., an email address to which messages may be sent for further
contact via email or telephone) available for those who wish to
terminate their mailing list subscriptions but are unable or
unwilling to follow standard automated procedures. For example,
information on the advertised web site should take into account
alternative method.
-
If a
company sending commercial e-mail has multiple distinct brands or
affiliates, notice and opt-out should be provided based on the
likely perspective of the average consumer. Each separate brand or
affiliate, as the consumer is likely to perceive it, must offer
notice and a process for removal from marketing lists in all
commercial e-mails (except for billing purposes).
-
Marketers
should not acquire e-mail addresses surreptitiously through
automated mechanisms (such as robots or spiders) without the
consumer/customer’s informed consent. This includes a prohibition
on dictionary attacks or other mechanisms for fabricating e-mail
addresses without providing notice and choice to the consumer.
-
Acquired
lists must be used for their original purpose. Those who are
acquiring fully verified opt-in lists must examine the terms and
conditions under which the addresses were originally compiled and
determine that all recipients have in fact opted-in to the type
mailing list the buyer intends to operate.
-
“Remove”
means “remove.” The electronic remove feature must be reliable,
functional, and prompt.
-
Undeliverable addresses must be removed from future mailings.
Mailing list administrators must ensure that the impact of their
mailings on the networks and hosts of others is minimized. One of
the ways this is accomplished is through pruning invalid or
undeliverable addresses.
-
E-mail
lists must not be sold or provided to unrelated third parties
unless the owner of the list has provided notice and the ability
to be removed from such transfer to each e-mail address on the
list. Related third parties include other brands/subsidiaries
within the same parent company as well as outside affinity
partners as a reasonable consumer is likely to perceive them.
-
A
commercial e-mail should contain the sender’s privacy policy,
either within the body of the e-mail or via a link.
-
Terms and
conditions of address use must be fully disclosed. Mailing list
administrators must make adequate disclosures about how subscriber
addresses will be used, including whether or not addresses are
subject to sale or trade with other parties. Also, conditions of
use should be visible and obvious to the potential subscriber. For
example, two lines buried deep within a license agreement do not
constitute adequate disclosure.
We
believe that spam is one of the most significant threats to the
future development of the Internet. Spam is an ever-growing problem
that needs to be eradicated not just to protect consumers, but
brands and businesses as well. If you follow the above guidelines
you will achieve greater results since you will invoke greater trust
in a potential client.
On 16 December 2003, at the federal level in the US, President Bush
signed into law a Bill titled ''Controlling the Assault of
Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003'', or the
''CAN-SPAM Act of 2003''. The CAN-SPAM Act requires unsolicited
commercial e-mail messages to be labeled (though not by a standard
method) and to include opt-out instructions and the sender's
physical address. It prohibits the use of deceptive subject lines
and false headers in such messages. The FTC is authorized (but not
required) to establish a "do-not-email" registry. State laws that
require labels on unsolicited commercial e-mail or prohibit such
messages entirely are pre-empted, although provisions merely
addressing falsity and deception would remain in place. The CAN-SPAM
Act takes effect on January 1, 2004.
