On that date, the government suspended the private right of action provisions under Canada\u2019s anti-spam law. The purpose of this legislation is to protect Canadians from unwanted or unsolicited emails. The Bill was passed on July 1, 2014. It includes a three-year grace period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Law C28 in short<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Refers to commercial e-mails sent to an e-mail address.<\/li>\n<li>In most cases, requires companies to obtain consent prior to sending e-mail messages.<\/li>\n<li>Establishes mandatory rules in respect to the form of communication (unsubscribe link, &#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>Requires companies to provide evidence of obtained consent.<\/li>\n<li>Provides for penalties in case of non-compliance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As soon as the law was announced, the business community was quick to react. Indeed, many companies expressed their concerns about the impact of these measures on their business activities. Associations such as the Canadian Marketing Association (CMA) have strongly denounced the negative effects of the law and helped achieve the suspension of the plaintiff&#8217;s right to appeal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, what will happen on July 1, 2017? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since Bill C28 is only challenged on the question of the possibility of civil action against companies sending the commercial emails, it remains valid. It\u2019s important to note that penalties in the form of fines from the CRTC remain applicable and may even intensify on July 1.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve already made arrangements to comply with law C28, don\u2019t change anything! If you haven\u2019t been paying attention to it as of yet, don\u2019t put it off any longer!<\/p>\n<p>Here at Exo B2B, we advocate <a href=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/en\/b2b-marketing-strategies\/account-based-marketing\/\">personalized and respectful marketing<\/a>.
