Are you compliant with the Can-Spam Act of 2003?
This is not legal advice about the new Can-Spam law and is not intended
to be. If you need official legal advice on the issue please consult an
attorney.
As of January 1, 2004 the "Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography
and Marketing Act of 2003," also known as the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, has
gone into effect.
The rules for compliance are explicit and straightforward; most legitimate
email companies should already be in compliance of these rules. 21st Century Interactive
has had these rules and others in place since inception.
- Do not hide the origin of the email.
- Do not use deceptive or misleading "Subject" lines.
- Do not use deceptive or misleading "From" lines.
- Do not use deceptive, misleading or false email headers.
- Information must be accurate: Use real reply address. The recipient
MUST be able to reply to sender, and the information must be active
for 30 days after the email has been sent.
- A method for the recipient to remove himself from future mailings
must be available within the body of the email. This can be achieved
by providing a link or by replying to the email.
- A physical postal address should be used; we recommend not using a
P.O. box.
