Spam Act 2003

The Spam Act 2003 is Australian law that regulates the sending of commercial electronic messages, like emails and SMS. It requires businesses to obtain recipient's consent before sending such messages, clearly identify themselves, and provide a way to opt out of future messages. The law aims to reduce unwanted spam, protect consumers, and promote responsible marketing practices. Violating the Act can result in fines and legal action. Overall, it balances legitimate marketing with consumers' right to privacy and control over their communications.
