FORECLOSURE STORE™ is bound by the following Anti-Spam Policy and
agrees to use this Service in compliance with the provisions stated
below. FORECLOSURE STORE™ performs its Service also according to the
applicable Privacy Policy.
FORECLOSURE STORE™, provider of the Service, follows a zero tolerance
spam policy and avoids sending unsolicited emails in any form while
providing the Service. FORECLOSURE STORE™ cooperates with email service
and hosting companies, which participate in a number of industry initiatives,
such as the Email Service Provider Coalition (ESPC) and the Email Sender
Accreditation Program (IADB), which promote responsible, permission-based
email marketing.
1. Legal Requirements
FORECLOSURE STORE™ complies with the following legal requirements established
for commercial email service providers: the CAN SPAM Act of 2003, the
Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 8 June
2000, on legal aspects
of information society services, in particular, electronic commerce
in the Internal Market ('Directive on Electronic Commerce'), along
with the Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and Council
of 12 July 2002, concerning the processing of personal data and the
protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (‘Directive
on Privacy
and Electronic Communications’) and laws in force in the Customers
country of residence.
2. How we define Spam
Spam, also known as junk mail, is an unsolicited email message. Spam
is commercial email or unsolicited bulk email, including “junk mail”,
which has not been requested by the recipient. It is intrusive and
often irrelevant or offensive, and it wastes valuable resources.
Spam messages are the opposite of permission-based email, which are
normally anticipated, personal, relevant and/or associated with a
pre-existing business or personal relationship.
Inappropriate newsgroup activities, consisting of excessive posting
of the same materials
to several newsgroups, are also deemed to be spam. The term 'spamming'
refers
to transmitting, distributing or delivering any unwanted e-mail correspondence,
especially
in mass quantities, through electronic means of communication.
3. Verification, Preventing Spam
FORECLOSURE STORE™ has developed its Internet marketing tools to incorporate
strict permission-based email rules. This Anti-Spam Policy is implemented
through the following:
At FORECLOSURE STORE™ subscribers can be added and commercial correspondence
shall be sent. FORECLOSURE STORE™ may send emails only to those subscribers
who gave their explicit consent to receive commercial email.
Email addresses may also be imported or added to the mailing list
manually. In such cases, the subscriber's permission to process their
data is required.
FORECLOSURE STORE™ does not rent, lease and/or purchase email addresses
from
a third party, nor do we gather them through surreptitious methods,
such as scraping
or harvesting. We do not use any automated solutions, software or scripts.
We store and manage data, and send electronic information only to those
recipients who have expressly agreed to receive such information from
you.
4. How we avoid Spam complaints
To help in establishing that we are not participating in activities
constituting spam,
we ask ourselves the following questions:
(a) Are emails sent to non-specific addresses?
(b) Has the transmission path information or originating address been
deliberately falsified? (c) Are emails sent to mailing lists or distribution
lists, which then send indirectly to various other email addresses?
(d) Have we imported for use a purchased list of any type?
(f) Does email not provide a fully functioning link to unsubscribe?
(e) Do we continue to mail anyone who has asked to be deleted from
the mailing list?
(g) Does the email subject line contain false or misleading information?
(h) Do we use a third party’s email address or domain name without
the party’s consent?
5. Content of our Messages
We provide true and accurate information in our email headers and we
always clearly identify ourselves as the email sender. We explicitly
indicate the subject in the subject line of email so it is not deceptive,
and thus we prevent misleading the subscriber about the purpose and
content of the message.
6. Postal Address
We provide our true and accurate postal address in each message footer.
We maintain
and promptly update this data to ensure it is current, complete and
accurate. FORECLOSURE STORE™ actively monitors all outgoing messages
to verify that the appropriate sender's information is included in
the message content.
7. Removals
Each message sent from a FORECLOSURE STORE™ account contains an unsubscribe
link that cannot be removed. The link automatically updates the mailing
list to ensure that
a subscriber that has opted out will not be sent any further mailings.
8. Agreement Violations
FORECLOSURE STORE™ does not use the Service to send any unsolicited
and unwanted e-mail correspondence. Neither the foreclosurestore.com
email address, nor the foreclosurestore.com URL may be included in
a bulk message or in a bulk-advertised web page.
If you believe you have been spammed, please report the complaint
from your email account along with the unsolicited email, with the
complete header to: abuse@foreclosurestore.com.
