Vadium Email Marketing Communication Policy
Vadium sends promotional email only to:

• our customers
• people who have given consent to Vadium to receive promotional email
• people on rented email lists who have given permission to the list owner to receive third-party promotional email
• people who have not opted out after having received promotional email from us.

Vadium, may from time to time, employ a third-party email marketing platform that helps to ensure that we provide relevant information and services to the people on the mailing list. The marketing platform:

• offers a central location for people to opt-out of Vadium promotional mailings
• tracks which promotional emails are delivered, opened and responded to and whether respondents subsequently visit the Vadium web site

In each promotional email, we provide an easy and clear way to opt out of future Vadium email. Opt-out requests using the opt-out link in our emails are processed automatically and go into effect immediately. Opt-out requests sent by email are processed within 10 business days.

When sending email to rented email lists, we suppress addresses of those people who have opted out of Vadium email in the past.

We always disclose our identity in mass email communications, including the address of our headquarters location, and we always identify our mass, promotional email as advertisements.
We never use deceiving header information or subject lines.

We never send mass, promotional email to email addresses “harvested” from websites.

We never, under any circumstances, rent or sell email addresses to any other company or individual.

When capturing email addresses via our Web forms, we always provide the opportunity to opt out of promotional email.

When coordinating with our resellers for the purpose of follow-up on sales inquiries made to us, we provide full contact information of the inquirer to the reseller, including email address, so the reseller can follow up on the inquiry.

Our marketing email policy and practice fully conforms to the United States Federal “CAN SPAM” act that went in to effect on January 1, 2004. Note that some regions such as the European Union, have different email laws and guidelines, and Vadium conforms to local laws in those cases.
