11. Anti-spam policy

What is spam?

Spam, also known as junk mail, is an unsolicited commercial email message, commonly sent in bulk email messages. Unsolicited means that the recipient has not granted verifiable permission for the message to be sent to them. Bulk means that the message is sent as part of a larger collection of messages, all having substantively identical content. The term "spamming" refers to transmitting, distributing or delivering any unwanted commercial e-mail correspondence, especially in mass quantities, through the electronic means of communication.

Measures to prevent spam

We take the following measures to prevent spam:

1. we do not use email addresses that are scraped or copied and pasted from the web, or harvested in any way
2. we do not have a subscription form that subscribes users to an unrelated list
3. we do not send out unrelated offers or unrelated content to our recipients on our newsletter lists
4. we do not email people who have requested to be removed from our mailing lists

12. Mailing practices

We do not modify the headers of any message in such a way that purposefully makes the origin of the message unclear.

All undeliverable addresses are removed from all future mailings after no more than 3 bounces.

All mailings provide clear and simple to follow instructions for opting-out of future mailings, and all reasonable attempts are made to facilitate the removal of a mailing list subscriber at their request.

Personal data submitted to us is only available to employees and trusted third parties managing this personal data for the purposes of contacting members of our lists. We have security policies in place to ensure that our mailing list data is secure from theft and misuse.

If you receive an email message that you think is spam which is sent from or sent on behalf of the Glasdon Group of Companies, please let us know the details of the email using the email address detailed below and we will then investigate the matter.

If you have questions regarding our anti-spam policy, please contact us by sending an email to the following email address: privacypolicy@glasdon.com
