Anti-Spam Policy

This anti-spam policy describes how we use email to share information about our Services and provide communication mechanisms for our Customers. Newsfile Corp. abides by Canada's Anti-Spam Law (CASL).

About Us

Newsfile Corp. is a compliance solutions company offering press release distribution and regulatory filing services (the "Services"). The Services enable the following:

For our Customers

  • To distribute press releases to databases, websites and Mailing Lists containing email addresses of Contacts who have provided consent to receive communications on behalf of the Customer; and
  • To file documents with regulatory authorities on reporting systems, including but not limited to the SEC via EDGAR and to the Canadian Securities Administrators via SEDAR+ and SEDI.

For our Subscribers

  • To receive press releases for selected companies and industries through email.

Key Terms

In this anti-spam policy, these terms have the following meanings:

"Compliance Management Portal" is a secure area on our website, accessible to Customers with a valid username and password. The Compliance Management Portal allows Customers to submit Service requests, view account information, manage Mailing Lists, and view a list of historical service requests.

"Contact" is a person a Customer may contact through our Services. In other words, a Contact is anyone on a Customer's Mailing List or about whom a Customer has given us information. For example, if you are a Customer, an email address on your Mailing List would be considered a Contact.

"Customer" means any person or entity that is registered with us to use the Services.

"Mailing List" is a list of Contacts a Customer may upload or manage on our platform and all associated information related to those Contacts (for example, email addresses).

"Subscriber" means any person or entity that has requested or provided consent to receive press releases from us through email.

"Website(s)" means any website(s) we own and operate (including, without limitation, newsfilecorp.com, newsfilewire.com, and filesec16.com) or any web pages, interactive features, applications, widgets, blogs, social networks, social network "tabs," or other online, mobile, or wireless offerings that post a link to this anti-spam policy.

"you" and "your" means, depending on the context, either a Customer, Subscriber, or Contact.

Mailing Lists for News Dissemination

We allow Customers to create and manage Mailing Lists using our Compliance Management Portal. Mailing Lists contain names and emails of consenting Contacts. Customers can select one or more Mailing Lists when submitting a request to distribute a press release. When the press release is distributed, all Contacts on the Mailing Lists selected receive a copy of the press release via email.

Customers

A Mailing List can be created in a number of ways, including by importing Contacts through our Compliance Management Portal. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with our privacy policy.

When submitting a press release for processing you may select one or more Mailing Lists. On dissemination, our system will proceed to send a copy of the press release to all Mailing List Contacts.

Press releases sent to a Mailing List will contain an "unsubscribe" link that allows Contacts to remove themselves from your Newsfile Corp. Mailing Lists. Should a Contact unsubscribe, they will be added to an email blocklist specific to you, and will no longer receive your press releases via email from us. We will remove an email from your specific blocklist if presented with adequate proof the email was blocklisted in error, or the Contact wishes to return to the Mailing List. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to monitor its email blocklist as well as to ensure compliance with CASL or other applicable anti-spam laws, including should a Contact request that Customer cease sending such Contact further unsolicited commercial communications outside of Newsfile Corp.’s Services.

Press releases sent to a Mailing List will clearly state you as the sending entity, in addition to clearly identifying Newsfile Corp. as the newswire service provider.

Mailing List Restrictions

  • When configured in the Compliance Management Portal, Mailing Lists must have a valid sender email address defined. This address must be owned or managed by you.
  • It is solely Customer’s responsibility to ensure that all Contacts present in Mailing Lists defined by you have opted in to, or otherwise validly consented to, receiving communications from you, the sender. If you do not have proof that each Contact on your list opted in for your emails, do not import them to the Compliance Management Portal. Customer accounts may be terminated for sending email messages to Contacts without appropriate consent.
  • We prohibit the use of harvested email lists. We will terminate accounts violating this prohibition.
  • We prohibit the use of third-party, purchased, or rented email lists unless you are able to provide proof that Contacts on the list have opted-in to receiving emails of the type you will be sending them.
  • You must not send unsolicited mail to newsgroups, message boards, distribution lists, or email addresses.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that the Mailing Lists you create do not generate a number of spam complaints or bounce rates in excess of industry standards. If we determine that your level of spam complaints or bounce rate is higher than industry standards, we have the right to suspend or terminate your use of our Website and Services. If you receive low response rates, high abuse rates or high bounce rates, we may request additional information regarding your Mailing Lists to investigate and attempt to resolve the problem, or in some cases we may suspend or remove email privileges on your account.

Contacts

A Customer may provide your email address as part of a Mailing List through the Services. We require that Customers have your consent to include you on a Mailing List. If you no longer want to be contacted by one of our Customers through our Services, please unsubscribe using the options in our email, or contact the Customer directly to update your preferences or delete your data. If you contact us directly, we may remove or update your information within a reasonable time and provide notice to the Customer of your request. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with our privacy policy.

Subscribers to Industry News

Our Services include emailing press releases for requested companies or industries to consenting Subscribers. Press releases sent to Subscribers contain an unsubscribe link that will allow you to remove yourself from our distribution network. Should you unsubscribe, you will be added to an email blocklist and will no longer receive our press releases via email. We will remove a Subscriber from our blocklist if presented with adequate proof the Subscriber was blocklisted in error, or the Subscriber wishes to receive press releases again. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with our privacy policy.

Your Consent and Changes

Your use of our Website and Services is subject to this policy. If you are found to be in violation of our policies at any time, as determined by us, we may warn you, or suspend or terminate your account. Please note that, in accordance with our Terms of Service, we may change this policy at any time by posting updates to this Website. It is your responsibility to keep up-to-date with and comply with this policy. Your continued use of the Website or Services will be deemed to be your consent to the updated terms.
