Web Beacons
In order to determine a user's ability to receive HTML email in addition to whether or not an email has been opened, Shop Wise Enterprises, LLC includes a "web beacon" in a majority of the HTML email messages we send. A web beacon (actually a small .gif image) is activated when an HTML email is opened via a request for the image on our servers.
This capability helps Shop Wise Enterprises, LLC send email in a format users can read and enables Shop Wise Enterprises, LLC, and our clients that use the functionality, to track the aggregate number of emails opened. The web beacon does not collect any personally identifiable information. Users that do not want to receive email messages with web beacons can choose to receive their emails in text (non-HTML) format.
We also use, and provide our clients with, the capability to track when a URL has been clicked inside of an email message sent by our system. We use this functionality to track which links were clicked and in what quantity, as well as the aggregate number of links clicked. This click tracking functionality does not collect any personally identifiable information.
