New Canadian Anti-Spam Rules to Take Effect July 1, 2014

Today, we, along with our colleague Michael Heuga, published our client advisory titled New Canadian Anti-Spam Rules to Take Effect July 1, 2014.
If your business uses “commercial electronic messages” to market to your customers and prospective customers in Canada, please be aware of Canada’s new anti-spam rules, which require, among other things, the sender of the electronic message to obtain consent from the recipient before sending the message and the message itself to identify the sender and provide instructions enabling the recipient of the message to withdraw consent to receive such messages.
