Core Principles

核心原则

1. Compliance is Non-Negotiable

1. 合规性不容妥协

This isn't about conversion optimization
Violations have real consequences
When in doubt, don't contact

这与转化优化无关
违规会带来实际后果
存疑时，请勿联系

2. Opt-Out Must Be Instant

2. 退订请求必须即时处理

Process immediately
No exceptions
No "one more message"

立即执行退订流程
无例外情况
不得发送“最后一条消息”

3. Documentation is Critical

3. 文档记录至关重要

Record everything
Timestamps matter
Audit trail required

记录所有操作
时间戳十分关键
需保留审计追踪记录

4. Stay Current

4. 保持规则更新

Regulations change
New channels, new rules
Regular review required

监管规则会发生变化
新渠道对应新规则
需定期复查合规情况

Opt-Out Implementation

退订流程实现

Detection Priority

检测优先级

Immediate detection (before any other processing):

function processMessage(message, contact) {
  // FIRST: Check for opt-out
  if (isOptOut(message.content)) {
    processOptOut(contact, message.channel)
    return sendOptOutConfirmation(contact)
  }

  // THEN: Normal processing
  return normalProcessing(message, contact)
}

优先检测（在任何其他处理之前）：

function processMessage(message, contact) {
  // FIRST: Check for opt-out
  if (isOptOut(message.content)) {
    processOptOut(contact, message.channel)
    return sendOptOutConfirmation(contact)
  }

  // THEN: Normal processing
  return normalProcessing(message, contact)
}

Opt-Out Keywords

退订关键词

SMS (TCPA compliant):

OPT_OUT_KEYWORDS = [
  "STOP",
  "UNSUBSCRIBE",
  "CANCEL",
  "END",
  "QUIT",
  "STOPALL",
  "STOP ALL"
]

function isOptOut(message) {
  normalized = message.toUpperCase().trim()
  return OPT_OUT_KEYWORDS.includes(normalized) ||
         containsOptOutPhrase(message)
}

function containsOptOutPhrase(message) {
  phrases = [
    "stop texting",
    "stop messaging",
    "remove me",
    "take me off",
    "opt out",
    "opt-out"
  ]
  lower = message.toLowerCase()
  return phrases.some(p => lower.includes(p))
}

符合TCPA标准的短信退订关键词：

OPT_OUT_KEYWORDS = [
  "STOP",
  "UNSUBSCRIBE",
  "CANCEL",
  "END",
  "QUIT",
  "STOPALL",
  "STOP ALL"
]

function isOptOut(message) {
  normalized = message.toUpperCase().trim()
  return OPT_OUT_KEYWORDS.includes(normalized) ||
         containsOptOutPhrase(message)
}

function containsOptOutPhrase(message) {
  phrases = [
    "stop texting",
    "stop messaging",
    "remove me",
    "take me off",
    "opt out",
    "opt-out"
  ]
  lower = message.toLowerCase()
  return phrases.some(p => lower.includes(p))
}

Opt-Out Processing

退订处理流程

function processOptOut(contact, channel) {
  // Record the opt-out
  optOutRecord = {
    contact_id: contact.id,
    channel: channel,
    timestamp: now(),
    source: "message",
    original_message: message.content
  }
  saveOptOut(optOutRecord)

  // Update contact record
  contact.opt_out_status[channel] = true
  contact.opt_out_date[channel] = now()
  saveContact(contact)

  // Add to suppression list
  addToSuppressionList(contact.phone || contact.email, channel)

  // Cancel any scheduled messages
  cancelScheduledMessages(contact.id, channel)

  // Log for audit
  auditLog("OPT_OUT", contact.id, channel, now())
}

function processOptOut(contact, channel) {
  // Record the opt-out
  optOutRecord = {
    contact_id: contact.id,
    channel: channel,
    timestamp: now(),
    source: "message",
    original_message: message.content
  }
  saveOptOut(optOutRecord)

  // Update contact record
  contact.opt_out_status[channel] = true
  contact.opt_out_date[channel] = now()
  saveContact(contact)

  // Add to suppression list
  addToSuppressionList(contact.phone || contact.email, channel)

  // Cancel any scheduled messages
  cancelScheduledMessages(contact.id, channel)

  // Log for audit
  auditLog("OPT_OUT", contact.id, channel, now())
}

  channel: "email" | "sms" | "phone",
  granted_at: timestamp,
  source: string,  // "web_form", "verbal", "business_relationship"

  if (!consent) return false
  if (consent.expires && consent.expires < now()) return false
  if (!scopeCovers(consent.scope, purpose)) return false

  return true
}

Time-of-Day Compliance

时段合规

Quiet Hours

静默时段

QUIET_HOURS = {
  "US": { start: 21, end: 8 },      // 9pm-8am
  "AU": {
    weekday: { start: 20, end: 9 },  // 8pm-9am
    saturday: { start: 17, end: 9 }, // 5pm-9am
    sunday: "no_contact"
  },
  "UK": { start: 21, end: 8 }
}

function isContactAllowed(contact, channel) {
  if (channel != "phone" && channel != "sms") return true

  local_time = getLocalTime(contact.timezone)
  region = contact.region

  hours = QUIET_HOURS[region]
  // ... check against current time
}

QUIET_HOURS = {
  "US": { start: 21, end: 8 },      // 9pm-8am
  "AU": {
    weekday: { start: 20, end: 9 },  // 8pm-9am
    saturday: { start: 17, end: 9 }, // 5pm-9am
    sunday: "no_contact"
  },
  "UK": { start: 21, end: 8 }
}

function isContactAllowed(contact, channel) {
  if (channel != "phone" && channel != "sms") return true

  local_time = getLocalTime(contact.timezone)
  region = contact.region

  hours = QUIET_HOURS[region]
  // ... check against current time
}

Scheduling Around Quiet Hours

避开静默时段的调度

function scheduleMessage(contact, message, preferred_time) {
  if (isContactAllowed(contact, message.channel, preferred_time)) {
    return schedule(message, preferred_time)
  }

  // Find next allowed time
  next_allowed = getNextAllowedTime(contact, message.channel)
  return schedule(message, next_allowed)
}

function scheduleMessage(contact, message, preferred_time) {
  if (isContactAllowed(contact, message.channel, preferred_time)) {
    return schedule(message, preferred_time)
  }

  // Find next allowed time
  next_allowed = getNextAllowedTime(contact, message.channel)
  return schedule(message, next_allowed)
}
