Email Regulations covering FRCP, SOX, FINRA, SEC, NYSE, HIPAA and GLBA regulations

The CAN-SPAM Act

Our lives are rife with spam email. In fact, at one point, it was getting serverely out of hand. Fortunately, email companies have given us the tools to fight against junk email coming into our inbox, but the Federal Trade Commission took matters in their own hands and drafted the CAN-SPAM Act. According to the FTC’s official website, there are 7 main requirements to the CAN-SPAM Act:

1)      Don’t use false or misleading header information;

2)      Don’t use deceptive subject lines;

3)      Identify the message as an ad;

4)      Tell recipients where you’re located;

5)      Tell recipients how to oft out of receiving future email from you;

6)       Honor opt-out requests promptly;

7)      Monitor what others are doing on your behalf.

The FTC’s website answers a lot of quests and defines these 7 main requirements. When it comes to email regulations, the CAN-SPAM Act is one that every person can appreciate!
