What is Spam?

Verification – The Company automatically sends all of your new subscribers an email confirming their interest in receiving emails from you. Additionally, if your subscriber changes his or her interests or unsubscribes, Constant Contact automatically sends an email confirmation.

Unsubscription- Every email generated from The Company contains an unsubscribe link which automatically updates your subscriber lists to avoid the chance of sending unwanted emails to visitors who have unsubscribed.

Contact Information - all of your emails are pre-filled with your contact information

Isn't there a law restricting Spam?

Yes, but state spam statutes vary so it is important to conform to the strictest standards. Many states have spam statutes, and they all differ; each state has its own definition of unsolicited commercial email. Additionally, there are various federal agencies keeping track of spam including the Federal Trade Commission.
