Canadian Pharmacy supports ONLY permission-based email management
practices. In this regard, Canadian Pharmacy has implemented various
policies and procedures that:
- Help prevent Canadian Pharmacy from being used for the purpose of unsolicited email campaigns.
- Encourage permission-based marketing.
- Respond to all complaints suggesting Canadian Pharmacy has been used as a vehicle to send unsolicited email.
Spam is Unsolicited Email
Spam is unsolicited commercial email, junk mail or bulk mail that has
not been requested by the recipient. In addition to being perceived as
intrusive, irrelevant and often offensive, it is also typical that spam
emails do not contain an option to unsubscribe from the mailing list.
Simply put, spam is the opposite of permission-based emails - those
that are requested, anticipated, personal and relevant.
Preventing Unsolicited Emails Via Canadian Pharmacy
Users must abide by a strictly enforced Terms of Service. In the "Terms
of Service of Canadian Pharmacy, it clearly states our policy with
respect to spam: "You may not use the Canadian Pharmacy or the products
or services provided through or in connection with the Canadian
Pharmacy to: a. send unsolicited bulk email, for commercial or
non-commercial purposes. Unsolicited bulk email is defined as email
sent to more than 10 individuals without their permission."
Also, users must accept that an unsubscribe
option will be automatically appended to every email sent via Canadian
Pharmacy. This is not an option. In the event that a user violates any
one of our usage rules, or for any other reason deemed appropriate by
Canadian Pharmacy, Canadian Pharmacy reserves the right to suspend or
terminate, without notice, access to the user's account and all related
data.
Encouraging Permission-Based Marketing
Canadian
Pharmacy encourages its users to create and manage "opt-in" subscriber
lists. By building and using an "opt-in" subscriber list, users can be
certain that they are sending emails to recipients that have expressly
given their permission to do so.
It is also important to note that subscribers receiving
email campaigns by users will only see their names in the header - all
other email addresses are not viewable which makes them safer from
unsolicited email abuse via other recipients of the same email
campaign.
Responding to Unsolicited Email Complaints
If a complaint is received regarding unsolicited emails being sent from
our Canadian Pharmacy site or by any of our users (affiliates), an
immediate investigation is undertaken.
- Initial Warning - The user (affiliate) is first
notified that an unsolicited email complaint has been lodged against
them and: (a) Reminded of the terms they accepted in the Terms of
Service. (b) Reminded that the complainant's email address will
automatically be flagged for suppression if the complainant did
unsubscribe. (c) Requested to manually remove the complainant's email
address from their subscriber list if the address was not automatically
suppressed because the complainant did not unsubscribe.
- Follow-up Warning - If the complainant persists, or if
there are multiple complaints, a second warning is issued. The user
(affiliate) is again reminded of the Terms of Service. Additionally,
the user (affiliate) is advised that if they are unable to abide by
these terms, they should discontinue using the Canadian Pharmacy site.
- Final Notice - If notifications of unsolicited emails
continue and remain unaddressed after the follow-up warning, the user's
account privileges will be suspended and eventually terminated.
Think You've Been Spammed?
Immediately unsubscribe using the "unsubscribe" option of your choice in the email. Send us a message to notify us of any unsolicited messages and provide any other information that you believe may help us in our investigation.
Canadian Pharmacy takes permission marketing very seriously. Thank you for reviewing our Anti-Spam Policy.
