Email Marketing & Anti‑Spam Policy
Last Updated: 5 July 2025
This Email Marketing & Anti‑Spam Policy (the “Policy”) explains how TheOntarioDuiLawyers.com ("we," "us," or "our") collects consent, sends commercial electronic messages (CEMs), and honours unsubscribe requests, in compliance with Canada’s Anti‑Spam Legislation (CASL).
We use MailerLite to manage our e‑mail list and deliver the weekly newsletter. MailerLite adheres to industry‑standard security and privacy practices.
1. Types of E‑mails We Send
| Message Type | Frequency | Purpose |
| Weekly Newsletter | Once per week | DUI law updates, recent case summaries, and directory news |
| Transactional E‑mails | As needed | Account confirmation, double‑opt‑in, password reset, billing receipts |
We do not send third‑party advertising or sponsored promotions unrelated to the directory.
2. Consent — Double Opt‑In
- Express Consent Required: You will only receive our newsletter if you actively subscribe via our sign‑up form and complete a double‑opt‑in confirmation e‑mail.
- Unchecked Boxes: Subscription checkboxes are unchecked by default; pre‑ticked boxes are never used.
- Recordkeeping: We store the date, time, IP address, and e‑mail address associated with each consent event using MailerLite’s audit log.

4. Unsubscribe Mechanism
- Every CEM contains a visible “Unsubscribe” link that is functional for at least 60 days after the message is sent.
- Unsubscribes are processed automatically via MailerLite and take effect within 10 business days (CASL requirement).
- You may also request removal by e‑mailing info@theontarioduilawyers.com with the subject “Unsubscribe”.
5. Managing Your Preferences
You may at any time:
