• Definition of Spam "Spam", as used in this policy, means any unsolicited email, generally received as part of a mass mailing or sent to an inappropriate list. Spam is also considered to be any promotion, information or solicitation that is sent to a person via email without his or her prior consent or permission. Spam is most often an e-mail message sent to a large number of people without their consent. Also known as Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE), or junk e-mail, it is usually sent to promote a product or service.
• Common Forms of Spam
  • An email message sent to a recipient that does not contain a way for the recipient to opt-out or request that future mailings not be sent to them.
  • Any email message sent to recipients who have not had any prior association with the organization, or did not agree to be sent email messages by the organization or their partners as mentioned in the opt-in/out information.
