Which statement aligns with CAN-SPAM Act requirements for newsletters?

• A. Do not use deceptive headers; clearly identify the sender; provide an unsubscribe option and honor opt-outs promptly; include a valid postal address and avoid harvesting addresses.
• B. Ignore unsubscribe requests to continue sending.
• C. Only require signups to be confirmed via phone number.
• D. Avoid collecting postal addresses to reduce compliance obligations.

Answer: (A)

CAN-SPAM governs commercial email and sets specific obligations to protect recipients. It requires that headers not be deceptive and that the message clearly identifies who sent it. It also demands an unsubscribe mechanism that is easy to use, and that opt-out requests are honored promptly. In addition, a valid physical postal address must be included in the message, and harvesting email addresses is not allowed. Because this statement includes all of these elements, it reflects the CAN-SPAM requirements. The other options conflict with these rules: ignoring unsubscribe requests violates the law; requiring phone-number confirmation isn’t a CAN-SPAM requirement; and avoiding postal addresses would fail the address disclosure requirement.
