# Collect marketing permissions
As a program owner, you may want to send marketing newsletters to your partners - maybe you’re running a promotion, have new marketing materials, or have company news to share.
***Note:** Marketing newsletters are created on email service providers and are separate from program emails. If you wish to learn more about managing program emails, click* [here](/knowledge-base/program-emails/email-settings)*.*
Since these emails are a form of marketing, you have to collect marketing consent from your partners in order to comply with the CAN-SPAM act and international anti-spam laws. Partnero enables you to do that during the partner signup process.
