Laws and regulations: Send e-mail to the Nordic countries

When it comes to e-mail marketing to companies, there are several laws and regulations that you need to take in consideration. The rules also differ depending on the country to which you are sending. Here we explain the regulations in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.

Sweden
In Sweden, it is allowed to send e-mail to both general e-mail addresses (so-called info@) and personal e-mail addresses of decision makers. The e-mail must be relevant for the company or for the professional role.

Finland
In Finland, the same rules apply as in Sweden. It is permissible to send relevant e-mail messages to both general email addresses and personal e-mail addresses of business decision makers.
