Does your business send commercial electronic messages (CEMs) to existing or prospective customers or other parties? Our firm has developed and published a selection of new checklists and precedents, including a detailed CASL Corporate Compliance Program, for sending CEMs in Canada and mitigating risk under Canada’s federal anti-spam legislation (CASL).
Our CASL checklists and precedents can be easily implemented and provide an excellent source of legal information (e.g., overviews and checklists) and templates to comply with the consent (both express and implied), identification and unsubscribe requirements of CASL. Also included are checklists and precedents/forms to help senders comply with commonly relied upon CASL exemptions (e.g., the business-to-business exemption) and document consent.
We regularly act for clients of all sizes in many sectors, including companies and brands, trade and professional associations and advertising agencies and communications firms, to reduce CASL risk through practical advice, including checklists and precedents to both comply with the legislation and to document consent.
Our CASL checklists and precedents include draft language and templates for requesting express consent directly or on behalf of an identified third party (or parties), checklists and precedents to meet the most commonly relied upon categories of implied consent (e.g., existing business relationship, business card and conspicuous publication categories of implied consent) and CASL exemption requirements (e.g., the business-to-business exemption).
Our precedent CASL Corporate Compliance Program includes a ready-to-adapt compliance policy, compliance program, compliance guidelines, personnel certification letter and templates to document several common types of consent and exemptions.
The following is a list of our newly published CASL checklists and precedents: (i) Checklists & Precedents: Express Consent Requests & Consent For Third Parties; (ii) Checklists & Precedents: Sender Identification Information & Unsubscribe Mechanism; (iii) Checklists & Precedents: Common Business Related Exemptions & Implied Consent; (iv) Checklist & Precedents: Documenting Consent & Scrubbing Mailing Lists; and (v) CASL Corporate Compliance Program.
