Compliance in Colombia

  • Opt-in: Opt-in is required, any form of opt-in (web, call center, MO, etc.) is accepted by the operators, and the content provider must be able to demonstrate proof of opt-in in the event of an operator audit or a user complaint.
  • Opt-out: Opt-out is required, and the content provider is responsible for opting users out of their database.
  • Sending times: Promotional, marketing and financial content (for example debt claims) may not be sent Monday to Sunday from 8pm to 8am.
  • Restricted content: Violence · Political content · Religious content · Adult content
  • Programs should support a HELP message as a best practice.

These rules are what we generally check against, however they may not be up-to-date. We'll always keep you informed of what is needed for each destination throughout any registration process.
