Policy Enforcement
Z-Blaster has a no tolerance spam policy. We review and monitor large list imports. This includes a review of the list source, list age, collection methods, and confirmation practices. We utilize a content-checking utility to screen and flag any message that contains words common to unsolicited emails. A record is saved of every email that is sent through the system. Any customer found to be using Z-Blaster for spam will be immediately suspended from use of the product. We maintain the IP address and date subscribed for every new subscriber. Every email, whether text or HTML, will contain a mandatory unsubscribe/opt-out link at the bottom of the message. This unsubscribe link cannot be removed.
Complaint Procedure
We have a no tolerance spam policy. Your account will be immediately suspended if you send spam. Spam is defined as unsolicited mass email to persons with whom you do not have a business relationship or have not requested (opted-in to) your mailing. Z-Blaster is intended for businesses and organizations who have an established list of permission-based opt-in email addresses. We provide our product only to those who follow our strict anti-spam policy.
To determine whether you have sent spam we will review the content of the message in question. We will review your subscriber list for patterns common to harvested lists. We will review any spam complaints received in relation to your account. We will view our records to see when the subscriber was subscribed and their IP address.
Complaints – False Positives
We realize that it is possible for those who have subscribed to your mailings to forget that they have subscribed. For this reason, we keep the IP address and date of subscription for all new subscribers. If we receive a complaint from a subscriber for which we have a record of their subscription, and the email sent to them contained the content they subscribed to, then we will notify the subscriber of the date and from which computer they subscribed from and provide a link for that subscriber to unsubscribe from your list.
Upon this type of complaint, we may notify you of the complaint, explain the action taken, and review your web site and may suggest changes to the notifications or descriptions you provide when subscribers sign up for your lists.
In the case that a subscriber who makes a complaint did not sign up through your site (i.e. was imported into the system) no IP record or date of subscription will be available. In this case, we will investigate the situation, look at the email in questions, and if it is determined that you may be sending UCE we will immediately disable the sending function on your account and we will immediately contact you by email and/or phone. As soon as we hear from you and are able to verify that the subscriber was indeed an opt-in subscriber, we will remove the sending-block.
Transfer of Subscribers
Please note that a subscriber subscribing to one of your lists does NOT give you permission to transfer them to other lists or send them content, even if it is through the same list, that differs from the content subscribed to.
