Brief
The Electronic Commerce Protection Regulations (CRTC) aim to promote the efficiency and adaptability of the Canadian economy by regulating certain activities that discourage reliance on electronic means of carrying out commercial activities. The Regulations amend the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act, the Competition Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, and the Telecommunications Act.
The Regulations introduce several key provisions for commercial electronic messages, including the requirement to include the sender's name, business name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, or web address. Additionally, a statement indicating that the person whose consent is sought can withdraw their consent must be included in requests for consent.
Computer programs that perform specified functions must also be brought to the attention of the person from whom consent is being sought separately from other information provided in a request for consent, and an acknowledgement in writing must be obtained from the person.
The Regulations come into force on July 1, 2014, except for section 5, which comes into force on January 15, 2015.
