The Privacy and Electronic Communications
(EC Directive) Regulations 2003
OPT-IN REQUIRED
Must obtain consent to send marketing communications

OPT-OUT POSSIBLE

explicit consent being given

The Law and Best Practice
1. Get consent
2. Unsubscribe link
3. Physical mailing address
4. Disclose identity
5. Don’t use Outlook

grow relationships
✔ Always obtain consent before sending marketing related
emails
