What is the CAN-Spam Act?
The CAN-Spam Act, effective January 1, 2004, preempts all State spam statutes and places a series of requirements on commercial email, “the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service.†The act requires companies that send or initiate commercial email to:
Businesses are permitted to send “transactional or relationship messages to facilitate, complete or confirm a commercial transaction that the recipient has previously agreed to enter into.†This is intended to be a very narrow exception and would include warranty, recall, safety or security information regarding a product previously purchased, periodic account statements and the like. “Transactional or relationship†messages may also contain content promoting a product or service unrelated to a previous transaction if ancillary to the primary purpose of the communication.
A safe harbor exists for companies that have reasonable compliance practices and make good faith compliance efforts. The Act also requires the FTC to study the creation of a nationwide “do-not-email†registry similar to its “do-not-call†list.
How does the CAN-Spam Act impact StrikeHawk eCommerce Customers?
It is widely recognized that government efforts to prevent spam will be difficult. Early legislation on this issue by various States and other nations has been criticized as being difficult to enforce and police. Many spammers are very crafty in their techniques and are difficult to trace. Nevertheless, We supports federal efforts to establish laws such as the CAN-Spam Act, which includes penalties for spammers. We also look forward to the advent of policing methods and technologies that will see a reduction in unwanted email that is a nuisance to customers and costly to their productivity.Â
