- 8. IDENTIFICATION 8 Each email sent must contain information identifying the sender and, if applicable, anyone they are sending on behalf of including contact information for all involved. The regulation does not require that persons situated between the person sending the message and the person on whose behalf the message is sent need necessarily be identified. This means that ESPs are exempt. When emails are sent on behalf of multiple persons, such as affiliates, all of those persons must be identified. A valid mailing address must also be included. The address must be valid for at least 60 days after the message is sent. • PO boxes are acceptable This document is provided for informational purposes and is not intended as legal advice.
- 9. UNSUBSCRIBE MECHANISM 9 All messages must contain an Unsubscribe This is different from US laws as transactional messages are not required to contain an unsub mechanism Are there limitations to the Unsub link? Under CASL, an unsubscribe mechanism must be 'readily performed.' An unsubscribe link can direct the consumer to a web page that is quick and easy to use. Does the CRTC have examples of Unsubs? See Compliance and Enforcement Information Bulletin CRTC 2012-548. This document is provided for informational purposes and is not intended as legal advice.
- 10. ARE YOU CASL COMPLIANT? All Canadian subscribers signed up from July 1, 2014 forward will fall under the new law. All subscribers collected prior to July 1, 2014 will have until July 1, 2017 to be re-permissioned if current processes do not fulfill the express consent clause. Questions to ask: Do all of my messages contain a proper unsubscribe? Am I and anyone I am sending on behalf of properly identified in my message? Does my current sign up process fulfill the express consent provisions of CASL? If you are not sure of a provision or have questions on CASL please visit their webpage at http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/casl-lcap.htm. 10 This document is provided for informational purposes and is not intended as legal advice.

I know she’s looking forward to presenting to you today, so I’ll turn things over. Kara?
- Thank you Kim for the kind introduction. I want to welcome you all to the exciting topic of CASL – and thank you for taking time out of your day to join us. Data privacy concerns continue to be a hot topic of conversation around the globe – and email marketers are often impacted. Today, they run through the ranks of even the highest levels of government. And the introduction of the new Canadian Anti Spam Laws are just another example. As we have been talking with brands and clients alike, there have been a lot of questions about specific scenarios and how they will affect their email program as it relates to CASL – so we wanted to make sure we allow for enough time for questions at the tail end of this. So
- Today we are going to quickly take you through the definition of CASL and what it means to be compliant. Then we will quickly review some steps that you all should be taking in addressing CASL compliance for you programs and finally open it up to QA. With that, I am going to hand it over to Chris, chris, it’s all yours.
- There is a long history in the development of the CASL position dating back about 4 years when Canadian officials had drafted one of the most restrictive spam laws in the world. From 2010 through 2013 iterations of the law continued until to evolve until the most current version was approved in December of this past year. There are three major considerations for marketers sending email in to or out of Canada. CHRIS – be sure to call out that unlike US can-spam laws that are applicable to Email – the CASL laws are specific to an electronic communication – across email, IM, phone, or any other electronic transmission. Expand on each of these sub heads to include examples, such as: The consent element requires that marketers have an express opt-in or consent to receive Commercial Electronic Messaging. The permission requirement is stricter than that of the US Can-SPAM requirements in that pre-existing business relationship is not enough under CASL. Nor is permission provided via a prechecked box – under CASL requirements a consumer must provide express consent, interpreted as taking an actual action to provide approval or permission to mail. Chris, you should work on the talk track for this slide.

- Let’s open it up for questions. We’ve got a few coming in. If we don’t get to your question, we’ll be sure to follow up with you. Here’s our first question from… Peter: If I have a Canadian subscriber who hasn’t been active since 2012, can I send to them? Natalie: Must a valid mailing address be a Canadian address or can my corporate headquarters in the US be used? Ashley: Are professional services organizations or agencies exempt? John: Is it ok to ask consumers to sign in to unsubscribe? Clare: Does the corporation or individual need to be located inside Canada in order to be fined? Tom: What about time spans for honoring opt outs? Is CASL like CAN-SPAM? Tom: What about shippers like a Fed Ex tracking number send? Julie: What about at tradeshows, when people leave their business cards or leave information about themselves on a list? Alyssa: I know there’s been a lot of talk about Blackberry devices, because their email runs through Canada. Will this affect emails sent to the US and other countries? Evan: How do I get express consent? Do you have real life examples? Katie: When there are multiple affiliates involved, a rental car and hotel company for example, do they both require express consent? Jeremy: Who can bring suit and when? It looks like we’re out of time. Thanks for joining BlueHornet today; we hope you found the content useful.
