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.
Isn't there a law against sending Spam?
The ukrainian national anti-spam regulation law went into effect on
August 5th, 2005. While this new ukrainian and current international
law will not stop spam, it does make most spam illegal and ultimately less
attractive to spammers. The law is specific about requirements to send
commercial email and empowers the government to enforce the law. The penalties
can include a fine and/or imprisonment.
How FEEDGEE protects you from sending spam
FEEDGEE
is a permission-based email-marketing tool that follows the strictest
permission-based philosophies:
- Communication - Your FEEDGEE 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
lists.
- Verification - FEEDGEE 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, FEEDGEE automatically sends an email
confirmation.
- Unsubscribe - Every email generated from FEEDGEE
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 FEEDGEE. 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 email and physical
address.
