Multi-jurisdictional consent alignment
ActiveTrail Israeli founding with French, Hebrew, English, Spanish, and Portuguese template options serves distinct regulatory contexts. French customers under CNIL enforcement require full RGPD compliance, Israeli customers under PPL (Protection of Privacy Law) 1981 have different consent baselines, Latin American customers vary by country (LGPD Brazil, LFPDPPP Mexico). Configure jurisdiction-appropriate consent practices per audience segment. Cross-jurisdiction senders should segment lists by consent basis to route campaigns through the appropriate compliance layer.
RFC 8058 one-click headers
ActiveTrail added RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe automatically ahead of the Google and Yahoo February 2024 requirements. The List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post headers inject on every marketing send from domains authenticated under Parametres > Profils expediteur. SPF and DKIM records must be verified. French RGPD, Israeli PPL, and Latin American data protection laws require documented consent for imported lists.
SMS integration and multi-channel opt-out
ActiveTrail SMS integration lets senders coordinate email and SMS campaigns from a unified contact database. An email opt-out does not automatically suppress SMS by default, matching per-channel consent granularity common in French RGPD interpretation. Configure cross-channel opt-out enforcement only when regulatory or business expectations require unified suppression. Landing page opt-outs write to the contact record and honor across channels once linked.
