OUR POLICY ON UNSOLICITED COMMERCIAL EMAILS
The privacy of all our users and data subjects is of utmost importance to CompanySpotter. We support protecting the privacy rights of all our clients and organizations included in our search engine as a fundamental part of our business operations (privacy by design). Since privacy is embedded at the core of our business, our success depends on our ability to maintain the trust of all people who use our services. To this end, we have two overriding policies:
1. MESSAGE RECIPIENT POLICY.
Before customers of CompanySpotter, can receive advertising or promotions, customers must have agreed to receive such messages. Any recipient may request to be removed from our list at any time, and we will comply with that request. In addition, we will thoroughly investigate all allegations made by recipients regarding unsolicited messages.
2. POLICY AGAINST ADVERTISING ON BEHALF OF OUR COMPANY VIA UNSOLICITED EMAILS
We require that all emails promoting CompanySpotter or its services be sent only to customers who have consented to receive such messages. We prohibit any advertising of our brand and website through unsolicited e-mail messages. Failure to comply with this policy will result in termination of the partnership and/or affiliate account.
If you believe you have received unsolicited emails advertising our company, our brand, our services or our website and wish to make a complaint about it, please contact our privacy department at [email protected]. We will promptly investigate all allegations regarding unsolicited messages.
- Your email address is safe with us and will only be used as described in our privacy statements. See: privacy centre.
- All our customers and users are bound by strict terms and conditions to the proper and lawful use of all data made available through our platform. This includes compliance with all applicable rules around sending unsolicited commercial messages. See: terms of service.
- Each promotional email message from CompanySpotter includes an easy way for recipients to remove themselves via an unsubscribe link.
DEFINITION OF SPAM
The legal definition and status of spam varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but in essence, spam can be defined as unsolicited e-mail sent in bulk. Any promotion or invitation sent via e-mail to a person without that person's prior consent can be considered spam. Exceptions to this definition may apply if there is a pre-existing relationship between the sender and the recipient, or if there is a legal obligation to inform a data subject.
EXAMPLES OF SPAM
Below is an overview of some possible examples of spam. This is for illustrative purposes only. We always advise all parties involved to be explicitly and specifically informed in advance about the laws and regulations in the applicable jurisdiction.
- An e-mail message sent to recipients who have had no prior connection with the organization or have not agreed to be mailed by the organization may be considered spam.
- An e-mail message sent to a recipient without the ability to unsubscribe or request not to receive future mailings may be considered spam.
- An e-mail message that contains false or misleading information in the header, subject or message itself may be considered spam.
- An e-mail message sent to a recipient who had previously signed up to receive newsletters, product information or other types of bulk e-mail, but later unsubscribed by informing the sender that they no longer wish to receive mailings.
