This information is used for allowing SmartrMail to contact you, improve content of the Site, customize the content you see, and communicating newsletters, specials and new features to you. You can unsubscribe to the newsletter at any time.
The nature of the Service is to provide a newsletter service built off a Subscriber List that you can either enter manually or automatically through various opt-in functions through your website, etc. Your subscriber list must be comprised of email addresses of people who have expressly opted to receive communications from you.
Subscriber lists may not be sold, bought or otherwise be comprised from a third party subscriber list.

We use personal information we collect from or on behalf of our Users to provide products and services to our Users at their direction. We do not use this information for SmartrMail’s own business purposes. We use personal information only as directed or authorized by our Users. Typically, we are directed or authorized to use personal information collected on behalf of our Users to:
Agents: We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Unless we tell you differently, SmartrMail’s agents do not have any right to use Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
SmartrMail also utilizes a third party service to process credit cards for payments. Processing is directly through this service and SmartrMail does not have access to nor will receive your credit card information.
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Site. When you use the Site, SmartrMail automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser or mobile platform including your geo-location, IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested through a third party aggregator, such as Google Analytics.
Generally, our service automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Site and its components. SmartrMail only uses this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to calculate how often users use parts of the Site so that we can make the Site appealing to as many customers as possible, and improve those services. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use our Site. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their services and our Site, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience. Again, SmartrMail will not, intentionally, disclose aggregate information to a partner in a manner that could identify you personally.
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your mobile and computer's browser (the “Browser”) to enable our systems to recognize your Browser and tell us how and when pages in our site are visited and by how many people. SmartrMail cookies are used for login information and session management.
Some of third party services listed below collect statistics in an anonymized and aggregated form and may not require the consent of the User or may be managed directly by SmartrMail - depending on how they are described - without the help of third parties.
If any third party operated services are listed among the tools below, these may be used to track Users’ browsing habits – in addition to the information specified herein and without SmartrMail’s knowledge. Please refer to the privacy policy of the listed services for detailed information.
Most Browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your Browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways.
PROTECTING THE PRIVACY OF YOUNG CHILDREN IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO US. OUR SERVICE IS GEARED TOWARDS ADULTS. IN NO EVENT SHOULD THE SITE BE USED BY A CHILD.

You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of SmartrMail may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy.
We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with that law; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of SmartrMail, our employees, our users, or others.
