The SalesTech360Hub Anti-Spam Policy (“Anti-Spam Policy”) and related procedures (the “CASL Procedures”) require that all SalesTech360Hub personnel sending CEMs from and/or to a computer system(s) in Canada or to an electronic address that will be accessed from a computer system in Canada comply with CASL, and seeks to ensure that all CEMs sent by or on behalf of SalesTech360Hub, or using a SalesTech360Hub email address or using a device owned or provided by SalesTech360Hub, comply with CASL.
The Anti-Spam Policy describes SalesTech360Hub commitments relating to the provisions of CASL and electronic messages of a commercial nature sent from SalesTech360Hub to prospective clients and others, as applicable. From time to time, SalesTech360Hub may implement additional policies, procedures, and/or practices as it relates to anti-spam measures.
This Policy applies to SalesTech360Hub personnel who may be sending CEMs from and/or to a computer system(s) in Canada or to an electronic address that will be accessed from a computer system in Canada.
With respect to SalesTech360Hub operations, the Anti-Spam Policy has been adopted in compliance with the requirements of CASL, and SalesTech360Hub is committed to complying with CASL. All other Tech World Solutions policies and procedures will be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the Anti-Spam Policy and that promotes compliance with CASL to seek to deter damaging and deceptive forms of spam from occurring in Canada.
SalesTech360Hub obtains express, opt-in consent, unless a verifiable basis for implied consent or an exception to consent exists, before sending a CEM to anyone who has not had an existing business relationship with SalesTech360Hub within two years before the date on which the CEM is sent. Unless a valid documented basis for implied consent or an exception to consent exists, SalesTech360Hub also obtains express, opt-in consent for the sending of CEMs to SalesTech360Hub prospects.
The request for consent cannot be in an electronic message unless there exists a basis for implied consent to send the message. The request for consent must be sought separately within a communication (e.g. through a separate action such as affirmatively checking a checkbox) and cannot be bundled as a term of acceptance of an agreement. A verbal consent is acceptable where a record of the details of the consent is maintained in a database.
All CEMs are required to comply with the form and content requirements of CASL, generally described as follows:
SalesTech360Hub takes steps to require that any third-party service provider who sends CEMs on behalf of SalesTech360Hub complies with CASL.
A key component of complying with CASL involves maintaining records of SalesTech360Hub relationships with clients and prospective clients.
Each business unit of SalesTech360Hub is required to create and maintain in the business unit’s Client Relationship Management (CRM) system (including, but not limited to, Benchmark, Salesforce), verifiable records documenting the relationships giving rise to implied consent, and verifiable records of express, opt-in consents obtained from SalesTech360Hub and prospective clients. “Clients” are defined as those organizations or individuals who have at least one open account or a contractual relationship with SalesTech360Hub at the relevant time. Organizations or individuals who have closed their last remaining account or terminated their contract with SalesTech360Hub are not considered clients for purposes of this Policy.
Implied consent or express, opt-in consent is obtained in accordance with the CASL Procedures and recorded in the applicable CRM system in order to track the client and prospect relationships.
Records of express, opt-in consent and records documenting the relationships giving rise to implied consent are retained for a minimum of three years after SalesTech360Hub ceases sending CEMs to the client or prospect.
All personnel at SalesTech360Hub sending CEMs from and/or to a computer system(s) in Canada are required to comply with this Policy and related CASL procedures and processes.
A “CEM” is defined as an electronic message that includes content (for instance, text, hyperlinks, images, or attachments) that:
Examples include promotional event invitations (e.g., webcasts or SalesTech360Hub events), marketing newsletters, etc.
The following messages do not have to comply with the requirements applicable to CEMs:
Messages that SalesTech360Hub email each other internally using a device that SalesTech360Hub owns or provides, or using a SalesTech360Hub email address, should be related to SalesTech360Hub business. SalesTech360Hub may not internally email each other offers, promotions, advertisements, or referrals unrelated to SalesTech360Hub business without the internal recipient’s verbal consent.
All third-party contracts with service providers who may send CEMs on behalf of SalesTech360Hub must contain contractual clauses obligating the service provider to comply with CASL, including the form and content requirements of CEMs.
CEMs that are not exempt from the requirements applicable to CEMs noted above are required to include a form of unsubscribe mechanism to facilitate the withdrawal of consent or do-not-contact requests within a period of time and in a manner that would allow SalesTech360Hub to process that request within 10 days of the date on which the unsubscribe, withdrawal of consent, or do-not-contact request was made. This information should be maintained in the applicable database that tracks the client and prospect relationships.
