Emailing Prospects in West Virginia

According to West Virginia Code §22-3-7, any person intending to prospect for coal in an area not covered by a surface-mining permit, in order to determine the location, quantity or quality of a natural coal deposit, must provide notice of their intention to the Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection. However, this code does not apply to emailing prospects.

Regarding emailing prospects in West Virginia, there are no specific laws or regulations that prohibit emailing prospects. However, it is important to comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, which sets rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, and gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them.

To comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, you must:

  1. Not use false or misleading header information.
  2. Not use deceptive subject lines.
  3. Identify the message as an advertisement.
  4. Include your physical address.
  5. Provide a clear and conspicuous way for recipients to opt-out of receiving future emails.
  6. Honor opt-out requests promptly.

It is also important to note that if you are emailing prospects in West Virginia, you must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) if any of the recipients are located in the European Union.

In summary, there are no specific laws or regulations that prohibit emailing prospects in West Virginia, but it is important to comply with the CAN-SPAM Act and GDPR if applicable.
