What is Spam?
Spam is unsolicited email also known as UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email). By sending email to only to those who have requested to receive it, you are following accepted permission-based email guidelines.
What constitutes a Preexisting business relationship?
The recipient of your email has made a purchase, requested information, responded to a questionnaire or a survey, or had offline contact with you.
What constitutes consent?
The recipient of a LunchBuzz, email has been clearly and fully notified of the collection and use of his email address and has consented prior to such collection and use. This is often called informed consent.
Isn't there a law against sending Spam?
The federal anti-spam law went into effect on January 1st, 2004 and preempts all state laws. While this new law will not stop spam, it does make most spam illegal and ultimately less attractive to spammers. The law is specific about requirements to send commercial email and empowers the federal government to enforce the law. The penalties can include a fine and/or imprisonment for up to 5 years.
How The LunchBuzz protects your restaurant from sending spam.
The LunchBuzz is a permission-based email-marketing tool that follows the strictest permission-based philosophies:
Communication - The LunchBuzz registration page already states The LunchBuzz is collecting the site visitor's email address, how we plan to use their address, and that we are following the embedded privacy policy. Additionally, by accepting our license agreement you have agreed to use only permission-based lists and never to sell or rent your lists.
Verification - The LunchBuzz automatically sends all of your new contacts an email confirming their interest in receiving emails from you. Additionally, if your contact changes his or her interests or unsubscribes, The LunchBuzz automatically sends an email confirmation.
Unsubscribe - Every email generated from The LunchBuzz contains an unsubscribe link which allows your contacts to opt-out of future emails and automatically updates your contact lists to avoid the chance of sending unwanted emails to visitors who have unsubscribed.
Identification – The LunchBuzz email header information is correct because it is pre-set by The LunchBuzz. LunchBuzz email's "From" address is verified and already accurately identifies LunchBuzz as the sender.
