PERMISSION POLICY

If you’ve received unsolicited Email from one of our Clients, please notify us immediately at abuse@crm-service.fi. Every complaint is investigated, and you will receive a response from our abuse team detailing the action we’re taking to deal with the issue. CRM-service prohibits Clients from sending spam Email, and obligates Clients to obey target country email marketing rules and regulations. Any customer found using ContactPortal to send such mail is banned from the use of our ContactPortal services.

Our Team takes several steps to keep spam to a minimum. Among other things, we:

  • Interview new Clients about both the origins of their mailing lists, and about their marketing practices. Clients who do not meet our standards are not allowed to use ContactPortal.
  • Use automatic mail ban list by Client level. This means that once you have marked Email as opt out from this source – you will no longer get any mail from this Client by the ContactPortal.
  • Check each uploaded mailing list for addresses that appear scraped (info@, sales@, etc.) or Opt Out and automatically eliminate these email addresses.
  • Email sent through our system goes to a staging area where it is looked over by a member of the ContactPortal staff. If we have any concerns, the mailing is stopped and we contact the Client.
  • Immediately open an investigation if a Client sends an abuse complaint to our abuse address or through one of the feedback loops we maintain with many Internet and Email service providers.
  • Record all sent Email messages so that these can be investigated afterwards if necessary.

If you suspect a Client of abusing our ContactPortal (or have any questions regarding our policies), please do not hesitate to contact us at abuse@crm-service.fi. As noted above, all complaints are investigated and you will receive a response detailing the action we’re taking to deal with the issue.
