Hey! I’m looking for direction when it comes to USA and direct marketing, what federal and state laws do we need to be aware about?
Thanks!

Hi. In addition to COPPA and general FTC guidance applicable to the handling of consumer data, there are a couple of federal provisions to keep in mind:
– Email – The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 governs general commercial email (emails advertising or promoting a commercial product or service). Consent isn’t needed to send commercial email, but you have to honor an opt-out request within 10 business days. A clear option to opt-out is required.
– Text and SMS – The Telephone Consumer Protection Act governs the sending of text or SMS messages. You need prior express written consent for the sending of a marketing text message using an autodialer. You have to immediately honor an opt-out request from marketing text messages.
