CASL (Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation)

Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) is designed to protect people from unwanted digital communications. It regulates the sending of commercial electronic messages (like emails and texts), requiring businesses to obtain clear consent before sending such messages. CASL also mandates including identification information and an easy way to unsubscribe. The law aims to reduce spam, phishing, and malware, ensuring that consumers have control over their digital communications. Non-compliance can lead to hefty penalties, emphasizing the importance for businesses to follow these rules when marketing or communicating electronically.
