| 1. Overview |
Spam is unsolicited electronic messages, also known as ‘junk’ e-mail or text messages, often, but not always, sent in bulk form. An electronic message may be spam if:- The message is deceptive in that there is an attempt to hide the true sender or content of the message;
- The recipient's personal identity and context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to any other potential recipients; or
- The recipient has not granted explicit or implied consent for the message to be sent.
|
| 2. Scope |
This policy covers appropriate use of any email sent from an S.i. Systems email address and applies to all employees and affiliates operating on behalf of S.i. Systems.
|
| 3. Commercial Electronic Messages & CASL |
S.i. Systems is committed to ensuring that those whom receive communications from us do not encounter spam. In accordance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (aka CASL), S.i Systems strictly evaluates messages sent from our internal systems to ensure that all commercial electronic messages (CEMs) sent from our systems follow this Anti-Spam Policy. A CEM sent by S.i. Systems is an electronic message that encourages participation in a commercial activity, such as using S.i. Systems products or services.

- S.i. Systems is responding to a request for information from you
- To communicate with you about your profile or similar relationship with us
- To provide information that you are entitled to receive about products or services you have purchased from us

|
| 4.2 What if I no longer want to receive messages from S.i. Systems? |
S.i. Systems’ CEMs provide you with the ability to unsubscribe or opt out of receiving our CEMs. When you unsubscribe using the links provided in our CEMs, your request will be processed as soon as possible in most cases within an hour but no later than 10 days after you send the request. There are only limited contexts in which you cannot request that S.i. Systems stop sending you messages, such as when we must communicate with you to enforce S.i. Systems’ legal rights.

| 4.3 Receipt of a CEM from S.i. Systems that seems to violate this policy |
