eBrochure's Spam Policy
In addition to our privacy policy, eBrochure is dedicated to keeping a strict anti-spam policy. We abide by federal anti-spam laws effective in January 2004 that were created in order to reduce the negative effects of spam on all email users. Our spam policy is twofold: 1) We promise to never spam our clients or sell/share client information with those who might misuse the information for spam, and 2) we expect our clients never to spam us or the recipients of their lists.
eBrochure's email marketing programs are permission-based, eliminating the "need" to spam. Audience lists are cultivated from people who are already interested in your product or services. Permission email marketing gives legitimate marketers a more effective and less obtrusive alternative to sending emails.
We take the following measures to ensure that our services are not used to send spam:
- Limited trial accounts. If you sign up for a trial account, you will have a limit to the number of people in your audience lists (Pro) or number of emails you can send (xPress).
- Opt-in tools. True permission will have to be granted in order for you to keep recipients on your mailing lists.
- List verification. We do not allow large lists to be automatically uploaded without approval and review by our staff.
- Reply-to and from verification. Address must be verified for legitimacy to prevent spoofing.
- Unsubscribe link on every email, every time. All of your email marketing broadcasts MUST have an unsubscribe option. Once a recipient unsubscribes, they cannot be re-added without their permission.
- Agreement is clear. We are up front about our policies. Our users are required to sign our agreement and verify list hygiene each time they upload an audience list.
- Abuse Desk Automated and Reviewed. All abuse requests are automatically tabulated and recorded for the customers' accounts. If our customers receive an unacceptable percentage of complaints, then we disable the account until we can successfully follow-up with the account's administrator.
- ISP and Blacklist Relations. We strive to maintain a constant dialogue with ISPs and Blacklists. We are more than happy to share our processes, procedures and are open to receiving input on how we can refine our processes for the better. ISPs and Blacklist administrators please feel free to contact us.
