What New Brunswick asks of a business online
A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:
- PIPEDA sets the ground rules for how private-sector organizations collect, use and disclose personal information. Office of the Privacy Commissioner: PIPEDA
- Consent is at the heart of Canada’s anti-spam legislation (CASL): express consent means someone has agreed, verbally or in writing, to receive a commercial electronic message from you, and senders should be ready to provide proof of that consent. Canada’s anti-spam legislation
