Background
To contain the problem of unsolicited electronic messages, the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Ordinance (UEMO) and the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Regulations (UEMR) have been enacted in 2007.
Namely, the UEMO regulates the sending of Commercial Electronic Messages (CEMs) with a "Hong Kong link" and the UEMR prescribes detailed requirements relating to "sender information", "unsubscribe facility", and "unsubscribe facility statement" to be included in messages. Schools should observe and comply with the relevant provisions under the UEMO and UEMR.
