Question: Fill in the blanks: A customer makes a purchase from your company and you proceed to send them marketing emails. This can be described as ______ and ________.
- implicit consent, single opt-in
- implicit consent, double opt-in
- explicit consent, single opt-in
- explicit consent, double opt-in
Explanation
A purchase creates a business relationship that can support implicit consent for related marketing communication, depending on applicable law and HubSpot settings. No separate confirmation step is completed, so the subscription path uses single opt-in behavior. HubSpot distinguishes permission based on how the contact relationship was established and whether confirmation is required. This scenario is based on an existing customer relationship, not a confirmed marketing subscription process.
Why the other options are incorrect
double opt-in is incorrect because no confirmation email is used to verify the subscription.
explicit consent is incorrect because the contact did not directly opt in to receive marketing emails.
explicit consent with double opt-in is incorrect because neither a clear opt-in action nor a confirmation step is present.
