July 2014 Canada Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) Twitch CASL

Hi there! Is this only useful for email sent through ZenCart? Or will it indicate on a web order whether the customer has checked the box?
Currently, we use MailChimp to send our emails out, and I would like a way for the person processing the order to know whether a new customer can be added to our MailChimp list (IOW, that the customer has clicked the opt-in box when they purchase something.)
Thanks.

Yes, this will work as you requested but would need to be custom coded into your cart.

Twitch CASL is being updated for 155e now :)

Twitch CASL for 155f is now available on my site and submitted for review in the plugins here ^.

Twitch CASL Advanced for 1.56c will be available shortly. The newest version is built into Twitch Base6.

New features include:

• Master CASL Record with account created date is written during account creation regardless of new regulation switch positions - privacy policy, conditions of use, newsletters

• Privacy Policy checkbox required and recorded during account creation

• Conditions of Use checkbox required and recorded during account creation

• Newsletter select/not selected record clarity live site/admin actions

• date_checked now updates relative to the last change admin/customer with detailed notes (viewable in Admin > Customers)

• casl_purpose, privacy_read and conditions_read operate independently with their own messages

• casl_purpose automatically includes your STORE_NAME now

**Admin > Configuration > Regulations
**
Confirm Privacy Notice During Checkout Procedure - **true|false
**NEW - Confirm Conditions of Use During Checkout Procedure - true|false

If one or both of these switches are set to true, a detailed CASL record is written including the date/time and IP address during account create. By Zen Cart default when these switches are on - an error will display if the customer doesn't check the box.

This module can be installed in new or existing sites - I've included instructions to apply to existing customer data to ensure a past/present record of compliance with CASL.
