  2. Always include a working “unsubscribe” mechanism in each marketing Digital Message that allows the recipient to opt out from your mailing list (receipt/transactional messages that are exempt from “unsubscribe” requirements of applicable law are exempt from this requirement).
  3. Comply with all requests from recipients to be removed from your mailing list within 10 days of receipt of the request or the appropriate deadline under applicable law.
  4. Maintain, publish, and comply with a privacy policy that meets all applicable legal requirements, whether or not your organization controls the sending of the Digital Messages.
  5. Include in each Digital Message a link to your then-current privacy policy applicable to that Digital Message.
  6. Include in each Digital Message your valid physical mailing address or a link to that information.
  7. Do not send to addresses obtained from purchased or rented Digital Message lists.
  8. Do not use third party message addresses, domain names, or mail servers without proper permission.
  9. Do not routinely send Digital Messages to non-specific addresses (e.g., webmaster@domain.com or info@domain.com).
  10. Do not send Digital Messages that result in an unacceptable number of spam or similar complaints (even if the Digital Messages themselves are not actually spam).
  11. Do not disguise the origin, or subject matter of, any Digital Message or falsify or manipulate the originating message address, subject line, header, or transmission path information for any Digital Message.
