Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE/Spam) Policy
American Hotrod Motorcycles has a no tolerance spam policy. We may use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about
important functionality changes to the website, new services and special offers
we think you'll find valuable. If you wish to discontinue receiving email from
us, at any time you can click the “remove” link at the bottom of any email we
send. We are committed to protecting your privacy, as such we do not share or sell our
mailing lists to any third parties. American Hotrod Motorcycles’s customer support actively monitors
our emails going to a large
number of contacts. Every promotional email contains a mandatory unsubscribe link.
(There are not unsubscribe links in transactional emails as they are required to
verify orders, shipping etc.)
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 an 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 your 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 We Protect You from Spam
American Hotrod Motorcycles uses a permission-based email-marketing tools that
follow the strictest permission-based philosophies:
- Communication - Our registration page already states why we are collecting our
site visitor's email address, how we plan to use their address, and that we are
following the embedded privacy policy. Additionally, we have agreed to use only
permission-based lists and never to sell or rent our lists.
- Verification - American Hotrod Motorcycles automatically sends all of our new
contacts an email confirming their interest in receiving emails from our site.
Additionally, if our contact changes his or her interests or unsubscribes,
American Hotrod Motorcycles automatically sends an email confirmation.
- Unsubscribe - Every email generated from American Hotrod Motorcycles contains an
unsubscribe link which allows our 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 - Our email header information is correct because it is pre-set
by American Hotrod Motorcycles. Our email's "From" address is verified and
already accurately identifies American Hotrod Motorcycles as the sender.
- Contact Information - All of our emails are pre-filled with our contact
information including our physical address.
