GDPR for Canadian Companies
As a business-owner, you likely have some awareness of the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which came into effect July 1st 2014. In this article we discuss General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for Canadian companies. As a quick background on CASL, when it was introduced it broke records for being the toughest law in the world protecting consumers from email spam. It put in place stringent measures to prevent companies from sending electronic messages to you without your consent – and a host of other consumer protections which were much needed. Businesses then had to carry out an audit of their various email and other lists, and set about putting in place measures to respect consumers wishes about being contacted by them.
