Anti Spam ACT

When reviewing your business practices and the content of your commercial messages to ensure you comply with your local governments Spam Act, you should consider the following three steps.

STEP 1 - CONSENT

Your commercial messages must only be sent when you have consent.

This may be express consent from the person you wish to contact - a direct indication that it is okay to send the message, or messages of that nature. It is also possible to infer consent based on a business or other relationship with the person and their conduct.

STEP 2 - IDENTIFY
Your commercial messages will always contain clear and accurate identification of who is responsible for sending the message and how they can be contacted. It is important for people to know who is contacting them and how they can get in touch in return. This will generally be the organisation that authorises the sending of the message, rather than the name of the person who actually hits the "send" button. Identification details that are provided must be reasonably likely to be accurate for a period of 30 days after the message is sent. This would be a consideration if the business was about to change address. You can update your salon's details in the accounts setting tab.

 

STEP 3 - UNSUBSCRIBE

Your commercial messages contains an unsubscribe facility, allowing people to indicate that commercial messages should not be sent to them in future. After a person indicates that they wish to unsubscribe, they will not receive further SMSs.
