1. Spam – What is it?
Spam is regarded usually as unsolicited email, including “junk mail”, that hasn’t been requested by the recipient.
It is the scourge of company systems and gateway administrators as it chews up time resources and bandwidth!
It’s frustrating and often confusing. It can be offensive especially if small children use your computer and stumble across some of the content which can be inappropriate.
People find any form of spam annoying and offensive.
2. Permission based emails -What is that?
Permission based emails are where a person subscribes to an email list to learn more about an organisation’s goods and services. Terms associated with permission based emails are: opt-in, opt-out, subscribe here, click here to unsubscribe, etc.
They are usually related to the subject matter of that website where they the user has decided to receive emails. In most cases they constitute a relationship as they have decided to receive emails from this source.
The Healthy Foot only uses permission base email lists where people have the choice to subscribe or unsubscribe to that list, forums or newsgroups. In the case of our permission based email, we only collect as a minimum your email address, your first name and last name.
At times we may collect information for other programs however this is fully explained before you enter any information into any of our sites. Our privacy policy outlines what is collected as a maximum.
In the case of our permission based email list, we provide users with the choice to opt-in or opt-out at any time. We use automated systems for this process so we get it right!
Our expectation is that people who sign up to an email list do so with integrity. Be honest and say who you really are, we have, so can you.
