Optional information such as postal address, zip code, gender, and age may also be supplied at the subscriber's discretion. Info-BIZ Arete confirms all subscriptions via email. After confirmation, at which time the subscriber has "opted-in," Info-BIZ Arete will assure the authenticity of the record by matching it against our database of consumers. Info-BIZ Arete will then send you offer for goods and services relevant to your categories of interest. Additionally, as part of our effort to bring Info-BIZ Arete subscribers the best possible offers, subscribers will receive special offers that would be of value to any online consumer.

However, Info-BIZ Arete does, provide discretionary "optional" information such as name, postal address, zip code, age, gender, etc. to third parties for non-electronic media. Info-BIZ Arete always provides notice and choice to all subscribers. Once, a subscriber un-subscribes and chooses to be removed from Info-BIZ Arete, the subscriber will no longer receive any offers from Info-BIZ Arete unless the subscriber later opts-in.

We will never share, sell, or rent individual personal information without your advance permission, unless ordered by a court of law. Information submitted to us is available only to employees responsible for managing this data.

CONFIRMED OPT-IN

InfoBIZ-Arete has taken an additional step for permission-based marketing by building the technology for "confirmed opt-in" into its tools. E-mails marked as "confirmed opt-in" within InfoBIZ-Arete system automatically send a follow-up e-mail to each subscriber asking him to verify that he wishes to receive communications via e-mail. Only those subscribers responding affirmatively will be opted-in to future mailings sent via the InfoBIZ-Arete system. Confirmed opt-in leads to: 1. Better Results. E-mail marketing is most effective when messages are anticipated, personal and relevant. Sending unsolicited e-mail reduces deliverability and ROI. 2. A Reliable Reputation. By verifying that subscribers want to hear from your organization, you will avoid complaints and keep your brand reputable. 3. Better Deliverability. Permission e-mail lists usually generate far fewer complaints than optout lists. This leads to a lower risk of blocking and better relationships with ISPs.
