Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL)

Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) is a law that regulates the sending of commercial electronic messages, such as emails and texts, to protect consumers from spam and unwanted solicitations. It requires businesses to obtain clear consent before sending these messages, clearly identify themselves, and include an option to unsubscribe. CASL also covers the installation of computer programs without user consent. The law aims to foster a trustworthy online environment by ensuring recipients have control over the messages they receive while imposing penalties for non-compliance.
