Questions founders ask

Can we message a purchased database?

No safe marketing plan should assume so.

Is an opt-out enough to cure missing consent?

No.

Can service messages contain promotions?

Classification depends on primary purpose and current TRAI/platform rules; do not disguise promotion as service.
