Precleared Contact Check

Contact Check

contact_check

Check whether a cold or unsolicited marketing email to one recipient is allowed under UK PECR and GDPR, US CAN-SPAM, Canadian CASL, German UWG or French rules. Use it before the first email to a new contact, one call per address. Not needed for transactional emails such as invoices, receipts or password resets. Returns the verdict, confidence, the rule quoted with its source, what the email's footer must include, the next step and the facts used. Each check uses one check from your allowance and is saved as a signed receipt. It does not send anything.

Input Schema
