Canada's Anti-Spam Law ("CASL") is federal law in
force since July 1, 2017, aimed at eliminating unsolicited and
malicious electronic communications and requires organizations to
comply with specific consent, disclosure and unsubscribe
requirements when sending out electronic communications. On July 1,
2017, the three year grace period for certain types of consent
under CASL will end and the provisions creating a private right of
action for violations of CASL will come into force.
This guide provides basic information on CASL
to help understand how it impacts electronic communication
practices and assist organizations in developing appropriate
compliance strategies.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
