Unsolicited Mailing (Spam)

We take spam/unsolicited mail very seriously. AdButler makes every effort to ensure that emails are sent only to interested parties who have explicitly expressed interest in that communication.

Some of our services make it possible for our premium clients to send email to their own mailing lists. We offer these services on good faith, and it is our policy that any user-entered mailing list must be composed of opt-in emails that the owner has been authorized to contact. Failure to comply with this policy may lead to a loss of mailing privileges or the closing of your account.

If you have been sent any form of unsolicited or offensive material that was generated using AdButler's services, we want to hear about it. Please follow the directions on
the
Spam/Abuse page for generating an online report.

Guidelines for Client Generated Email

AdButler's content guidelines are laid out in section 3(b) of our Membership Agreement. In addition, we require the following of any
mailing lists or email addresses to which mail will be distributed using AdButler's services:

(a) inclusion in the list must be voluntary, and must be entered into knowingly by the intended recipient,
(b) the content and nature of material being sent must be adequately and accurately disclosed at the time of registration,
(c) any request for removal from the list must be honored within a reasonable time (we may automate this process),
(d) if material of a mature/adult nature is being sent, the list must have been screened to prevent the inclusion of minors,
(e) if the list has been received from a third party, you must warrant that the author of the list complies with the points above.

If you have been sent any form of unsolicited or offensive material that was generated using AdButler's services, we want to hear about it. Please follow the directions on
the
Spam/Abuse page for generating an online report.

Terms of Service Violations & Legal Issues

This document contains instructions for reporting a violation of AdButler's terms of service, or a legal issue that requires attention.

Users of the AdButler site agree to abide by our General Terms of Service and Membership Agreement.

AdButler services are used for communication, self-expression and freedom of speech. We believe our services promote these values.

All complaints and requests for action must be submitted via mail or fax; we cannot respond to email or telephone complaints. Our technical support staff will not be able to assist you with legal matters.

We respect our users' ownership of and responsibility for the content they choose to share. We believe that censoring this content is contrary to our goals as a service.

However, there are some boundaries as to the type of content that may be hosted, linked, or in any way connected with AdButler. The boundaries are those which allow us to comply with legal requirements and that serve to enhance the service for everyone.

  • Personal Abuse

  • Subpoena/Court Order

  • Illegal Pornographic Material

  • Copyright Infringement

  • Private and Confidential Information

  • Unlawful Use Of Services

  • Hateful Content

  • Violent Content

  • Spam, Malicious Codes and Viruses

  1. Personal Abuse

    Definition
    Linking, referring to, uploading, posting, emailing or otherwise transmitting any Content that is threatening, abusive, tortious, defamatory, or libelous.

    AdButler is one of the world's largest online services, and it should come as no surprise that users occasionally link, or otherwise refer to materials that someone may find objectionable. Unfortunately, AdButler cannot evaluate the propriety of the hundreds of thousands of new advertisements, links, or referrals made on its service each day. For example, we are simply not in any position to evaluate an allegation that a particular post is defamatory.

    It is for this reason that under United States federal law (47 U.S.C.), service providers like AdButler are not liable for content posted to their services by third parties. Accordingly, AdButler will not, as a matter of practice, remove links or referrals based on allegations of abuse without legal process that AdButler reasonably believes compels a response. By contrast, where a party presents a court order establishing that particular content is abusive and should be removed, AdButler will respond as it believes appropriate. We will also respond appropriately to intellectual property claims, and may remove any post as we see fit, in accordance with our Terms of Service.

    Procedure
    All requests or information related to subpoenas and court orders in conjunction with abuse should be mailed or faxed to SparkLIT headquarters, attention: Legal Department

  2. Subpoena/Court Order

AdButler GDPR Cookie Policy

AdButler has always embraced “Privacy by Design”, and because of this, we have a very small footprint on your users’ browsers. AdButler only has a small number of features that involve cookies to carry out their respective functionalities. These cookies do not store any personal data (including personal IDs) which means that you do not need to collect explicit consent from your users before using these AdButler features.

AdButler has always embraced “Privacy by Design”, and because of this, we have a very small footprint on your users’ browsers. AdButler only has a small number of features that involve cookies to carry out their respective functionalities. Both of these cookies do not store any personal data (including personal IDs) which means that you do not need to collect explicit consent from your users before using these AdButler features.

Although the GDPR was not meant to address non-personal data, there was a misalignment on the implementation of two new regulations: GDPR and ePrivacy Regulation. ePrivacy regulation was intended to replace the Data Protection Directive, which was repealed on May 25, 2018, but the ePrivacy Regulation has been delayed. In order to address the impending relatory gap that handles cookie privacy, a provision was added to the GDPR that says that references to the Data Protection Directive “shall be construed as references to this Regulation [the GDPR]”.

Because of this provision, and the fact that the Data Protection Directive addresses consent for cookies in general (not specifically those with personal data or IDs), there will be a period of time where GDPR transparency is required for cookies containing non-personal data.

Accordingly, you will need to disclose the following information to your EU users regarding these two cookies.
