[Re: Privacy Compliance Officer]

Policy basis:
The guidance to update your privacy policy to include the use of customer emails for abandoned cart reminders is based on interpretations of data protection regulations and best practices:
-
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
-
Under GDPR, businesses can process personal data based on "legitimate interests," provided this interest is not overridden by the individual's rights and expectations. Sending abandoned cart emails is often considered a legitimate interest, as it serves both the business and the customer by reminding them of incomplete purchases. However, it's essential to conduct a Legitimate Interest Assessment (LIA) to ensure compliance. enzuzo.com
-
CAN-SPAM Act (U.S. Law):
-
The CAN-SPAM Act differentiates between commercial and transactional emails. While transactional emails (those facilitating an agreed-upon transaction) are exempt from certain provisions, it's crucial to ensure that abandoned cart emails don't cross into promotional content without proper compliance. Including an opt-out mechanism in such emails is a recommended practice. socketlabs.com
-
Best Practices and Transparency:
-
Regardless of the legal basis, transparently informing customers about how their data will be used fosters trust and aligns with principles of fair processing. Updating your privacy policy to explicitly mention the use of emails for abandoned cart reminders ensures customers are aware of this practice, reducing potential complaints or misunderstandings.
By incorporating this information into your privacy policy, you demonstrate a commitment to transparency and compliance with data protection regulations.
