Canadian Anti-Spam Law: A Marketer's Guide to Compliance
About OVYS Digital Presence and Web Design
Welcome to OVYS Digital Presence and Web Design, the leading provider of website development services in the business and consumer services industry.
The Importance of Compliance with the Canadian Anti-Spam Law
As a marketer or business owner, it is crucial to understand and comply with the Canadian Anti-Spam Law (CASL). CASL is a legislation that aims to protect individuals from unsolicited electronic communications, including emails, text messages, and social media messages.
Non-compliance with CASL can result in severe penalties, including fines of up to $10 million for businesses. It is essential for businesses in the website development industry to ensure their marketing practices are in line with CASL to avoid legal issues and maintain a positive reputation.
Understanding CASL
CASL imposes strict regulations on commercial electronic messages (CEMs) sent within, from, or to Canada. To comply with CASL, businesses must obtain consent from recipients before sending any CEMs. This means that you cannot send promotional emails or messages to individuals unless they have explicitly given their consent.
Under CASL, consent can be expressed or implied. Expressed consent occurs when an individual provides their explicit permission to receive CEMs. Implied consent, on the other hand, applies in specific situations where there is an existing business relationship or the recipient's contact information was obtained through publicly available sources.
