Privacy and responsible outreach
Does Canada’s anti-spam law apply to B2B email?
A business recipient is not a blanket exemption from CASL. Commercial electronic messages generally require consent, sender identification, and an unsubscribe mechanism unless a specific exception applies. Assess your situation using current CRTC guidance; a software check alone cannot establish that a campaign is lawful.
How to approach it
- Document the contact basis before scheduling.
- Keep the supporting evidence with the record.
- Review uncertain cases with a qualified adviser.
In your research notes, separate “this company could benefit” from “we have documented a basis to contact this person.” These answer different questions. Do not treat a high prospect score as permission to send.
