The Spam Act
05/02/2012 by Admin
The Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 (known colloquially as the Spam Act) prohibits an individual or company from sending unsolicited commercial electronic messages, also known as 'spam', to, from or within New Zealand.
The Act covers email, instant messaging, SMS, multimedia message services and other mobile phone messaging. Since 20 October 2011, the Act was extended to include commercial faxes. This means that an individual or company may no longer send a commercial fax, with a New Zealand link, to a recipient that has not consented to receive the message. Internet pop-ups and voice telemarketing continue to be excluded from the Act.
