Is Cold Emailing Legal in 2025? | Ep 04 - Cold Emailing in a Minute

In the last episode, we looked at a perfect example of a cold email.
Today, we’re answering one of the most common questions: Is cold emailing even legal?

The truth is, cold emailing is legal — as long as you follow the right rules.
Laws like CAN-SPAM in the U.S. and GDPR in the EU don’t ban cold emails; they simply require you to send them responsibly.

Here are the three golden rules to keep your cold outreach compliant and respectful:
Be transparent : Use your real name, company, and email address.
Keep it relevant : Reach out for a valid business reason.
Respect opt-outs : Always give people a clear option to unsubscribe.

Follow these rules, and you’re building trust — not breaking laws.
Cold emailing, when done right, is closer to professional networking than spam.
