However, how we use social media and what we say also has the potential to affect [COMPANY NAME]'s reputation and/or expose the Company (and each of us) to business or legal risk. Whilst we recognize the benefits which may be gained from appropriate use of social media, it is also important to be aware that it poses significant risks to our business. These risks include disclosure of confidential information and intellectual property, damage to our reputation and the risk of legal claims. Therefore, every employee has a personal responsibility to be familiar with and comply with [COMPANY NAME]'s overall Social Media Policy. This policy is designed to reflect our purpose, values and principles, our business conduct manual, and legal requirements. Because we use social media in a variety of ways, there are more specific expectations that may apply to your activities. SCOPE This policy covers all forms of social media, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ Wikipedia, other social networking sites, and other internet postings, including blogs. It applies to the use of social media for both business and personal purposes, during working hours and in your own time to the extent that it may affect the business of the company. The policy applies both when the social media is accessed using our information systems and also when access using equipment or software belonging to employees or others. It also covers all employees and also others including consultants, contractors, and casual and agency staff. Breach of this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. Any misuse of social media should be reported to [SPECIFY]. Questions regarding the content or application of this policy should be directed to [SPECIFY]]. POLICY STATEMENT Although many users may consider their personal comments posted on social media or discussions on social networking sites to be private, these communications are frequently available to a larger audience than the author may realize.

When participating in social media in a personal capacity, employees must: Not disclose [COMPANY NAME]'s confidential information, proprietary or sensitive information. Information is considered confidential when it is not readily available to the public. The majority of information used throughout [COMPANY NAME] is confidential.

CAN-SPAM imposes mandatory sender identification and opt-out requirements. CASL requires express or implied consent with proof of that consent on file. GDPR requires a documented lawful basis for processing, data subject rights, and a named data processor disclosure. A formal sequence agreement consolidates all of these obligations into one auditable document.\n",{"question":401,"answer":402},"What is the difference between CAN-SPAM, CASL, and GDPR compliance?","CAN-SPAM (US) is opt-out based — you can email anyone who has not explicitly opted out, provided you include an unsubscribe mechanism and accurate sender identification. CASL (Canada) is opt-in based — you need express or implied consent before sending any commercial electronic message. GDPR (EU/EEA) is the strictest — it requires freely given, specific, and informed consent, with rights of erasure and data portability. If your list spans all three regions, the sequence must meet GDPR's standard for every subscriber.\n",{"question":404,"answer":405},"What counts as valid consent for an email marketing sequence?","Valid consent requires a subscriber to take a positive, unambiguous action — such as checking an unchecked box — with a clear description of what they are signing up for. Pre-checked boxes, consent buried in terms of service, and inferred consent from browsing behavior do not meet the standard under GDPR or CASL. For US-only lists, CAN-SPAM does not require prior consent, but obtaining it anyway reduces complaint rates and protects against stricter state-level laws such as California's CCPA.\n",{"question":407,"answer":408},"How long can I keep subscriber data from an email sequence?","There is no universal rule, but GDPR's storage limitation principle requires keeping data only as long as necessary for its stated purpose. Industry practice for email marketing data is 12–24 months from the subscriber's last engagement or the date of opt-out, whichever occurs first. After that period, data should be deleted or anonymized. Set a concrete retention period in your agreement and configure your ESP to enforce it automatically.\n",{"question":410,"answer":411},"Can I add new emails to an existing sequence without re-obtaining consent?","Under GDPR, adding emails with materially different content or purpose may require fresh consent if the new content falls outside what the subscriber originally agreed to receive. Under CASL, you can generally add emails within the same commercial purpose without re-consenting provided the original consent was express and unlimited in duration. Best practice is to update Schedule A, notify active subscribers of the change, and give them an easy way to opt out of the expanded sequence.\n",{"question":413,"answer":414},"What should every marketing email in the sequence include?","Every email must include: the sender's legal name or clearly identified trade name, a valid physical mailing address, a functional one-click unsubscribe link, a subject line that accurately reflects the email's content, and no deceptive or misleading header information. These are minimum requirements under CAN-SPAM. CASL additionally requires the sender's contact information to be accessible within the email. GDPR requires a link to the privacy notice.\n",{"question":416,"answer":417},"What happens if a subscriber files a complaint about my email sequence?","CAN-SPAM complaints can result in FTC enforcement with fines up to $51,744 per non-compliant email. CASL violations carry administrative monetary penalties up to CAD $1 million per individual and CAD $10 million per organization. GDPR regulators can impose fines up to 4% of global annual turnover or €20 million, whichever is higher. A well-executed sequence agreement with an auditable opt-in record, suppression list, and compliant emails is your primary defense in any enforcement action.\n",{"question":419,"answer":420},"Do I need a lawyer to create an email marketing sequence agreement?","For simple domestic US campaigns targeting a consumer audience on a single platform, a well-structured template is typically sufficient. Legal review is advisable when the list includes EU or Canadian subscribers, when the sequence involves sensitive personal data (health, financial), when a third-party agency manages the campaign on your behalf, or when the subscriber base exceeds 10,000 contacts.
