Are You Ready for the Electronic Commerce Protection Act? (ECPA)
In December 2010, the federal government passed Bill C-28 into law, creating Canada's first anti-spam law - the Electronic Commerce Protection Act. As with PIPEDA in 2000, this new piece of legislation is poised to dramatically change the playing field for marketers who use digital means to reach their target market.
If you are engaged in any form of commercial electronic direct marketing, time is running out to bring your programs into line. And the penalties for failing to do so are high, including onerous financial penalties and possible criminal prosecution.
