Canada’s New Anti-Spam Legislation: Webinar

March 10, 2010

Given the level of interest and need for businesses to learn about Canada’s proposed anti-spam legislation, I’ll be offering the following webinar on April 14th from 2:00 – 3:00 PM (CST) / 3:00 – 4:00 PM (EST).  Here are the details…

Canada’s proposed anti-spam legislation, called the Electronic Consumer Protection Act, is about to fundamentally alter online marketing activities in Canada. It’s perhaps the most comprehensive type of anti-spam legislation in the world, which will regulate commercial electronic messages and impose stiff new anti-spyware provisions. It’ll also amend Canada’s PIPEDA and Competition Act. Is your business ready?

Learn more during this webinar, at which time we’ll survey the following:

  • The ECPA‘s scope
  • New consent obligations, and related exemptions
  • Anti-spyware provisions
  • Amendments to PIPEDA
  • Amendments to the Competition Act
  • The regulatory enforcement regime
  • Penalties and the new private right of action
  • Steps you can take now to prepare for the ECPA
