What are the Key Regulations Governing Email Collection?
Several key regulations govern email collection:
- GDPR: This regulation applies to organizations within the EU or those handling data of EU citizens. It requires explicit consent from users before collecting their email addresses. - CAN-SPAM Act: This U.S. regulation mandates clear identification of commercial emails, the inclusion of a physical address, and an easy way to opt-out. - CASL: Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation requires explicit or implied consent before sending commercial emails to individuals in Canada.
