Email Marketing Compliance Checklist

Quick-Reference Resource for Legal Requirements.
Email marketing is governed by a range of legal standards, including the CAN-SPAM Act, relevant state laws, and established industry practices. Ensuring consistent compliance across campaigns, and with partners, is critical for reducing legal and reputational risk.
Our checklist serves as a quick reference to ensure that your publisher and advertiser partners are meeting the latest legal requirements under the CAN-SPAM Act, state regulations, and industry best practices. It helps teams efficiently apply compliance protocols in day-to-day operations.
Key Features of Our Compliance Checklist:
  • CAN-SPAM Act compliance checks, including unsubscribe functionality, sender identification, and accurate header information
  • State law considerations, including California-specific email and privacy regulations
  • Review points for transparency, ethical practices, and industry norms
  • A simple, repeatable process for assessing campaign-level and partner compliance
  • Verification prompts for monitoring publisher and advertiser adherence to legal standards
An indispensable reference tool for email compliance personnel, providing a clear, structured way to verify that both internal teams and external partners meet applicable legal requirements.
