CAN-SPAM Act Adherence
Our company is in accordance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. In the fall of 2003, Congress passed the CAN-SPAM Act to curtail the rampant abuse of commercial e-mail messages. The act, which took effect the following January, directs that any commercial e-mail message that contains false header information that can mislead recipients as to its origin, or any message sender using a computer without authorization with the intent to send multiple commercial e-mails is in violation of the law.
Bonded Sender™ Approved
Our company is in compliance with Bonded Sender™. The Bonded Sender™ program is the leading 3rd-party e-mail certification program. The Bonded Sender™ program allows legitimate e-mail senders to identify themselves by agreeing to follow a set of e-mail standards, undergoing a qualification process and putting their own money at risk to guarantee the legitimacy of their e-mail. As a Participating Sender, we must ensure that:
- The mail infrastructure used to send e-mail messages is well maintained and operated in a responsible manner.
- E-mail messages are truthful and accurately identify the source of the message.
- There is reasonable security for networks used to send e-mail messages and store recipient information.
- The nature of commercial or promotional e-mail messages to be sent and the types of entities that will be providing content, excluding those messages sent to recipients with whom there is a prior business relationship and any sharing or renting of the recipient’s e-mail address and/or related personal information that will result in additional commercial or promotional e-maill messages from (1) affiliates and/or (2) third parties.
- Consent with appropriate disclosure or a prior business relationship exists prior to sending commercial or promotional e-mail messages.
- The recipient’s requests to discontinue receipt of commercial or promotional e-mail messages are honored.
- All parties involved in the sending of e-mail messages cooperate with the program administrator to resolve any issues regarding program requirements by responding in 5 business days of notice, and by taking corrective action within 15 business days of notice.
