Does CASL require single or double opt-in?

My team is launching a new newsletter and wants to opt-in existing subscribers from the product's sister newsletter. After reviewing requirements for CASL compliance, would this require a double opt in? Or are we within compliance currently by subscribers being opted into another newsletter?

Generally no, but double opt in is a good idea. See below

This is what I've figured out (not legal advice):

 

  • Exceptions to Explicit Opt In
    • someone asked for help
    • between organizations with a relationship
    • notice of legal rights (contracts)
    • notice of product
  • Referrals
    • Sender can send 1 message and make note of who referred to Recipient A
    • Recipient A and Referrer should have relationship
    • Referer and Sender must have relationship
  • No Consent Required for
    • Providing a quote
    • confirming a transaction
    • providing warranty, recall, safety, or product recall info
    • Ongoing use of a product or sub
    • delivers goods, updates, or upgrades
  • Implied Consent
    • Existing relationship - within 2 years of purchase
    • within 6 months of inquiry
    • Conspicuous Publication (vague)
    • email or phone provided by recipient with above restrictions
  • Explicit Consent (this is the part you asked)
    • opt in, no precheck - but ok to just have email address if it’s clear they are opting in.
    • must say you can unsub
    • must identify self and address
    • must be clear they are opting in.
  • Proving Consent
    • Log Date Time

    • URL and Form
