Anti-Spam Policy
We have a no-tolerance for unsolicited commercial email communications (“Spam”), which are messages sent to persons with whom you do not have a business relationship or who have not specifically requested opted-in your messages.
We monitor the Site for patterns consistent with non-opted-in email addresses. Your account will be terminated if you use the Site to hygiene non-opted-in email addresses.
To use our Site, you must agree to hygiene only permission-based email addresses. This means all email addresses must have opted-in to receive communications from you.
An opt-in can occur either via a sign-up form on a website, at a point-of-sale sign-up form, on a physical sign-up sheet, or by any mechanism that allows a recipient to knowingly and willingly provide their email address for the purposes of receiving email communication from our users. Purchased lists may not be used with the Site, regardless of the source or permission status.
Please report any suspected violation of this policy to privacy@alfredknows.com.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, is a European privacy law that went into effect in May 2018. It regulates how personal data of individuals in the EU can be collected, used, and processed. The law impacts European companies and any business that targets European individuals or collects, uses, or processes the personal data of European individuals regardless of where the business is located. Essentially, this means the GDPR will apply to most organizations that process personal data of EU individuals—regardless of where they are established and regardless of where their processing activities take place.
We are proud that Alfred is GDPR compliant and private by design, but what does that mean to you and data the contact you control?
- Our data centers are located in EU territory.
- Uploaded email addresses are hashed (anonymized) in all parts of the system, except the layer from which you download your results.
- You have the ability to delete permanently the data under your control at any time. Otherwise, we will erase it from the system after 14 days.
If you are interested in your privacy, please take a look at our Privacy Policy, and if your customers’ data privacy is your priority, please review our Data Processing Addendum (DPA).
