Zinidoo has a no
tolerance spam policy. At Zinidoo, we
are aware of our responsibilities as a good Internet
citizen and are dedicated to protecting the privacy
rights of other Internet citizens. We vigorously
oppose the sending of unsolicited email (spam)
and have made every effort within our power to
discourage and prohibit the sending of spam.
Zinidoo does not allow
anyone to use our products or services for the purpose
of sending spam. We have and will continue to refuse
business from known spammers. If a current Zinidoo customer uses our products or services
for the purposes of spamming anyone, their product
license and/or service contract will be voided without
refund.
We are highly sensitive to the
privacy of each of the subscribers on the lists that
we host and will not make their name, address, or
any other information that they have provided us
available to anyone without the subscriber's express
permission. We require that each message sent out
includes an easy way for the subscriber to remove
themselves via an unsubscribe link. If a recipient
calls our offices and requests to be manually removed
from a customer's list, we will manually unsubscribe
the recipient from your account.
Zinidoo may determine
at its sole discretion whether a customer is spamming.
There are a number of factors Zinidoo
uses to determine whether a customer is spamming,
including, but not limited to: complaints sent to
abuse report addresses, SpamCop reports, complaints
sent to any of Zinidoo's upstream providers,
and evaluating a customer's mass email statistics
and recipient addresses. Decisions made by Zinidoo personnel regarding a customer's use of
Zinidoo are final.
Definition of Spam
Spam is unsolicited email sent
in bulk. Any promotion, information or solicitation
that is sent to a person via email without their
prior consent, where there is no pre-existing relationship
between the sender and the recipient, is spam.
Examples of Spam
- Any email message that is
sent to a recipient who had previously signed
up to receive newsletters, product information
or any other type of bulk email but later opted-out
by indicating to the sender that they did not
want to receive additional email, then that email
is spam.
- Any email message that is sent
to recipients that have had no prior association
with the organization or did not agree to be emailed
by the organization is spam.
- Any email message that is sent
to a recipient without a way for a person to opt-out
or request that future mailings not be sent to
them, is spam. Any email message that does not
have a valid email address in the reply-to line
is spam.
- Any email message that contains
any false or misleading information is spam.
- Any email that says you can
earn $1000s each week from home is spam.
- Any email message that promotes
an adult web site is spam, unless the recipient
has specifically requested information from that
web site.
- Any message that contains "ADV:", "ADV
ADLT:", or "ADV ADULT" in the subject
is spam.
- Any message that is sent to
email addresses that have been harvested off of
web sites, newsgroups, or other areas of the Internet
is spam.
What is Not Spam
- An email message is NOT spam
if the recipient in anyway requested email be
sent to them from the sender or the sender's
organization.
- Anytime an organization sends
a bulk email message to one of its customers it
is NOT spam provided that the organization offers
a way for the customer to opt-out of future mailings
and that the customer did not previously opt-out.
- An email message is NOT spam
when sent to recipients who agreed to receive information
or promotions from a partner organization (as long
as there is a clear opt-out option).
In general, please ensure that
ALL recipients provided for email distribution meet
the following criteria and make sure you've got the
following covered EVERY time you use your list for
email distribution:
- List is 100% permission-based.
Every individual on my list has explicitly asked
to receive email or has a proven relationship
with the recipient.
- The list must not be purchased
from any source.
- List does not contain email
address that have been automatically captured or
scraped by surfing the Internet or using an email
scraping tool.
