SureSeen
LLC Anti-Spam Policy
SureSeen

allowed). Our customer support monitors large import lists and
emails going to a large number of contacts. Any customer found
to be using SureSeen for spam will be immediately cut-off from
using our products and services. If you know of or suspect any
violators, please notify us immediately at .
Every
email contains a mandatory unsubscribe link. If the link is
removed or de-activated in any way, SureSeen will terminate
the customer's account.
What
is Spam?
Spam
is unsolicited email also known as UCE (Unsolicited Commercial
Email). By sending email to only to those who have requested
to receive it, you are following accepted permission-based
email guidelines.
What
constitutes a Preexisting business relationship?
The
recipient of your email has made a purchase, requested
information, responded to a questionnaire or a survey, or had
offline contact with you.
What
constitutes consent?
The
recipient of your email has been clearly and fully notified of
the collection and use of his email address and has consented
prior to such collection and use. This is often called
informed consent.
Are
there laws regarding sending Spam?
The
federal anti-spam law went into effect on January 1st, 2004
and preempts all state laws.
While
this law will not stop spam, it makes most spam illegal and
ultimately less attractive to those who spam. This law is
specific about requirements for sending commercial email and
empowers the federal government to enforce the law. Penalties
can include a fine and/or imprisonment for up to 5 years.
How
SureSeen protects you from sending spam
SureSeen
is a permission-based email-marketing tool that follows the
strictest permission-based philosophies:
-
Communication
- Your SureSeen registration page already states why you
are collecting the site visitor's email address, how you
plan to use their address, and that you are following the
embedded privacy policy. Additionally, by accepting our
license agreement you have agreed to use only
permission-based lists and never to sell or rent your
marketing lists.
-
Verification
– SureSeen automatically sends all of your new contacts
an email confirming their interest in receiving emails
from you. Additionally, if your contact changes his or her
interests or unsubscribes, SureSeen automatically sends an
email confirmation.
-
Unsubscribe
- Every email generated from SureSeen contains an
unsubscribe link which allows your contacts to opt-out of
future emails and automatically updates your contact lists
to avoid the chance of sending unwanted emails to visitors
who have unsubscribed.
-
Identification
- Your email header information is correct because it is
pre-set for you by Constant Contact. Your email's
"From" address is verified and already
accurately identifies you as the sender.
-
Contact
Information
- all of your emails are pre-filled with your contact
information including your physical address.
Tips
to help avoid sending out spam (ask yourself these questions)
1.
Are you importing a purchased list of ANY kind?
2.
Are you sending to non-specific addresses such as:
sales@domain.com, business@domain.com, webmaster@domain.com,
info@domain.com, or other general addresses.
3.
Are you sending to distribution lists or mailing lists
that send indirectly to a variety of email addresses?
4.
Are you mailing to anyone who has not explicitly agreed
to join your mailing list?
5.
Have you used a third party email address or domain
name without their permission?
6.
Have you falsified your originating address or
transmission path information?
7.
Does your email's subject line contain false or
misleading information?
8.
Does your email fail to provide a working link to
unsubscribe?
9.
Are you failing to process any unsubscribe requests
that come to you via a reply to your email within 10 days or
the request?
Answering YES to any of these questions will likely get you labeled as a
Spammer. You can
