The Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 prohibits unsolicited commercial electronic messages, commonly known as spam, in New Zealand. It defines spam and outlines the criteria for identifying such messages, emphasizing the need for consent from recipients. The Act also mandates that commercial messages include accurate sender information and an unsubscribe option. Certain types of messages are exempt from being classified as spam. Violations can result in significant penalties, including fines and compensation to victims. Businesses must adhere to these regulations to ensure compliance.
