Including mandatory information in my emails

European and local laws impose similar concepts (do not hide your identity, do not pretend to be someone else,...) but the details may vary from country to country. Moreover, in addition to laws, certain regulations or good practices can clarify what is expected from senders.

These laws and rules have been established to ensure transparency to recipients and to improve or maintain consumers' trust in the digital economy.

Information to include in emails

• Company Name

• Complete mailing address (no P.O. box)

• Phone number, to reach a person (no fully automated mailbox)

• A contact email address (customer service, for example)

• Intra-community VAT number if applicable

The text must be reasonably visible and legible (no light color text on a light background, no writing too small, etc.). It has to be permanently visible even if the recipient is not online (in other words, it has to be text and not a remote picture of text).

The unsubscribe link is mandatory, and we recommend not to drown it in the middle of the mandatory information.
