Communication Standards: Anti-Spam & AUP
At David Kaufman Stone, we uphold the highest standards of professional etiquette and digital ethics. This policy governs all communications and platform usage associated with our brand and the davidkaufmanstone.com domain.
1. Zero-Tolerance Policy (Spam)
We maintain a strict zero-tolerance approach toward unsolicited commercial email. Any use of our resources or domain to facilitate "spam" is strictly prohibited. We define spam as any email message sent to a recipient who has not explicitly and verifiably requested to receive communication from us.
2. Rigorous Opt-In Standards
We only communicate with parties who have provided clear, affirmative, and verifiable consent.
- Double Opt-In Requirement: All subscriptions must be confirmed via a secondary verification link.
- Consent Archiving: We maintain detailed logs including IP addresses, timestamps, and request sources as a permanent audit trail.
3. Prohibition of Third-Party Lists
The integrity of our network depends on direct relationships. We strictly ban the use of purchased lists, scraped directories, or third-party databases.
4. Mandatory Identification
Every email dispatched under our domain must adhere to these transparency rules:
- Sender Clarity: @davidkaufmanstone.com
- Clear Unsubscribe Mechanism
- Mandatory Privacy Policy Linkage
5. Verified Validation Protocols
We permit the use of email validation services exclusively for addresses that have already cleared our initial opt-in process. We do not use such services to "clean" unverified lists for cold outreach.
6. Prohibited Niches
To protect our reputation, we prohibit content associated with deceptive marketing, predatory lending, or violations of international trade laws.
