Anti Spam Policy
It is a violation of the license agreement to send unsolicited commercial bulk email with any Groupmail Product.
Notice of Responsibility to all Groupmail product users:
DO NOT SEND UNSOLICITED COMMERCIAL BULK EMAIL OR UNSOLICITED COMMERCIAL BULK SMS MESSAGES. Be aware that you are solely responsible for the messages you send. In some cases, sending unsolicited commercial bulk email or unsolicited commercial bulk SMS (i.e. Spam) is in violation of the law, and you will be solely responsible, accountable and liable for any violations and damages.
We reserve the right to refuse technical support and/or other services if you:
- send unsolicited commercial bulk email or send unsolicited commercial bulk SMS; or
- you hijack a mail server relay; or
- distribute illegal information or materials; or
- forge header information; or
- put false of misleading information in the subject; or
- fail to provide a means for unsubscribing from your lists
The Groupmail range of products was developed to help people including us, to run and manage opt-in mailing lists, opt-in email newsletters, opt-in email marketing campaigns, announcement lists, customer updates and other legal uses of email and SMS messaging. We will never knowingly tolerate the use of our products to facilitate the sending of unsolicited commercial bulk email (i.e. spam) messages. We have taken measures to stop people from abusing our products – for example, our GroupMail Lite Edition has limitations in it to stop it from being abused. Some of those limitations are:
- BCC / Bulk sending is not permitted – spammers like to be able to send their email quickly – using bcc. This is not possible with the GroupMail Lite Edition.
- There is a limitation on the number of messages that can be sent at any one time in our GroupMail Lite Edition. Again this is designed to deter spammers from using our GroupMail software to send spam.
- Direct sending is not available in the GroupMail Lite Edition.
- None of our products allow message headers to be altered in anyway.
- None of our products facilitate the building of spam lists using extraction or spidering techniques.
Users should consult Section 6 of the license agreement (installed by each of our products) for more information. If a user violates the license agreement, but continues to use the product they are doing so illegally. We will deny technical support and refunds, refuse product upgrades, report your actions to anti-spam agencies, and may pursue legal action.
If you do receive spam that you believe originated from a Groupmail Product user, please forward the message with full headers (very important) to support@group-mail.com, so that we can investigate the matter further. Should the spam complaint be valid we will report them to the various anti-spam agencies, black list them from receiving future products and technical support from us. If you have any queries relating to our anti-spam/abuse policies then please contact us – support@group-mail.com.
Please note that Groupmail does not provide mailing lists with its products. Nor does Groupmail provide mail servers to facilitate the sending of unsolicited bulk commercial email. The Groupmail product range is designed to allow users to operate and manage their own lists and groups.
If you have any questions regarding our Anti Spam Policy please contact us – support@group-mail.com
Privacy & Security
All of us at Groupmail take your privacy and security very seriously. This privacy statement discloses our information practices and declares our data collection methods, usage and confidentiality policies throughout our site.
Different areas of this site may incorporate their own set of policies depending on the respective services offered and the data collection requirements. A separate policy is described for each area.
This site is fully compliant with the W3C Platform for Privacy Preferences Initiative.
Website - General Policy
- Policy Scope
This policy applies to all areas of the Groupmail websites with the exception of the customer resources and promotions areas which are governed by separate privacy policies. It is the responsibility of linked websites to provide their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any such websites. - The Groupmail Announcement Group
While browsing our site you may see several opportunities to subscribe to our product announcement group, to join this we require you to provide your e-mail address. We use this address to notify you of new software releases, updates and special offers. For your convenience, each announcement contains instructions on how to be removed from all future mailings. We do not make your e-mail address available to any third parties. Please note that customers are automatically added to this list/group. - During Software Purchase
It is important to note that Groupmail does not process orders directly. We use reputable ecommerce companies to do this on our behalf using the very latest in secure transmission technologies. It is very important for these companies to keep accurate purchase records. Immediately after you purchase one of our products our ecommerce partner will notify us and will pass your contact information (e.g. name, company name, postal address, email address, telephone and fax number) together with some limited purchase order information (e.g. purchase date, order reference number, product code, product name, quantity, price and any delivery options). This data is used to enable us to email you with necessary product unlock codes, to identify you in order to give you the full benefits of your purchase including free technical support and upgrade eligibility and to enable us to set up a user account providing you with access to our customer resources area. For security purposes the ip address of this transaction may be recorded. Please note that we do not receive a copy of your actual payment details (such as credit card numbers or wire transfer details). We do not make any of this information available to any third parties.
To learn more about our ecommerce vendors and their privacy & security policies, go to their respective web sites:
- Technical
Some of our products contain technical support wizards which help us to provide a higher level of service. When you use this software you have full control over what is sent back to our support staff. You can also have an exact copy of the data being returned to us sent to you also. This information (settings, hardware spec, and log files) is only used for the purpose of support and our copy is destroyed once your issue is dealt with.
Please note that when you contact Groupmail support any details you provide us are used only to help solve any issues you have and are destroyed once your issue is dealt with.
We do not make any of this information available to any third parties.
- Cookies
The area of the site governed by this policy does not use “cookies” (which are small pieces of information that your browser stores on your computer’s hard drive), with the exception of anonymous session cookies. A session cookie only ever contains a unique identifier for managing session state and therefore does not contain any personally identifiable information. Session cookies are automatically deleted when the web browser is closed.
Product Activation
Product Activation is an anti-piracy technology that we use to manage the licensing of our GroupMail software.
During activation, your Product license key details and a unique network ID are encrypted, and then registered against your Customer Account (See Customer Resources section). The unique network ID does not include any personal information, nor does it include any information about the software or documents that reside on the computer. The network ID is determined using publicly available network related information, and is used only for activation purposes.
Once a product is activated on a computer, minor changes to that computer’s network configuration will not affect the activation. Major changes to the computer’s network setup may require reactivation of the digital goods. Reactivation is at Groupmail’s discretion.
Insights
The Insights tools operate under the domains https://lnk.ie and https://subscriptions.groupmail.io.
All data collected is the property of the customer and is just hosted / facilitated by us. Insights stores this information securely on behalf of the customer who collected it. This information is only accessible by that customer. When the customer has finished using the data it is deleted.
Insights Tracking Manager: Our Tracking Manager software, allows our customers to track their group e-mailings. The software records any of the following data when an email is ‘tracked’ by Tracking Manager: IP address, date and time of event, user defined ‘pass through’ information, Link ID and campaign ID, where the subscriber is the person who receives the email.
Our Tracking Manager software uses a web beacon at times. This is a transparent image that is placed within the e-mail. This web beacon also records user defined ‘pass through’ information, IP address, date and time of event, and campaign ID. The function of the web beacon is to report when an email has been opened.
Insights Subscription Manager: Our online Subscription Manager allows our customers to use a provided web form template which they can use on their own website to collect subscription requests from their site visitors, as well as providing a ‘one-click’ unsubscribe link which can be placed in any Email they send.
Customer Resources Area
- Policy Scope
This policy applies to the customer resources area including the log-in and log-out pages.
- Authentication & Security
Access to the customer resources area by default is over secure SSL (https). This means that all of the information transmitted and received by your browser while visiting this area is securely encrypted and that it is highly unlikely that anyone will be able to eavesdrop on any of your personal data.
To protect the privacy of your information all users must be authenticated using a username and password system before gaining admittance to this area.
Users are strongly advised not to share their log-on details with others, otherwise this may result in their access to this area being terminated if we determine that there has been a breach of a user’s privacy or security. This policy is to the benefit of all legitimate users. The customer resources area is constantly monitored for any prohibited activity.
- Collection & Use of Information
The customer resources area presents a highly individualised facility for managing downloads and updates. In order to provide this facility we have to record basic (non-financial) information about each user’s choice of purchase as well as recording their usage of the facility, for example to customise the downloads remaining for each user.
To protect the customer resources area from misuse we actively monitor all logins into the system in addition to recording standard web logs. We collect login dates and times as well as recording IP addresses on an individual basis. In addition, we record details on all downloads that are taken, also on an individual basis. This allows us to perform individual analysis of patterns of activity for the purposes of detecting prohibited access and misuse of the resources in the system.
Support facilities are provided to assist users who may have problems logging in. This may involve the user emailing to us their contact and original order information in order to provide proof of purchase. While this information is usually discarded once the request has been fulfilled, it may be retained indefinitely in special circumstances where it might prove useful to compile a past history of such requests, for example if we suspect that a user is attempting to gain access fraudulently.
To expedite the handling of priority support emails we may record computer and browser information. This allows us to quickly deal with common problems arising from incompatible system settings, for example if we detect that a user’s browser does not support cookies.
Customers may provide suggestions via the customer feedback facility and this information may be retained indefinitely in order to serve as a valuable repository of ideas for future products and services.
Customers may view and edit their personal contact information and preferences. We may use this information to market new releases and upgrades, and for general customer announcements. The customer may opt-out of our marketing mailing list by modifying their contact preferences.
The customer resources area may use a number of cookies – small pieces of information that your browser stores on your computer’s hard drive. We use an anonymous temporary cookie to detect if your browser currently accepts cookies. We also use a permanent personalisation cookie to store your greeting name when you revisit the site. An optional third permanent cookie is used to implement the “Remember this Account” function and this cookie contains your email address. A fourth temporary authentication cookie is used by our system in order to identify authenticated users of the system. This is in addition to a standard session cookie as described in the general section above.
Please note that we do not receive or ever store any financial information such as credit card details and that none of the information we collect is ever shared with any third parties outside of our immediate ecommerce providers.

- Collection & Use of Information
