ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The authorization to charge is ongoing and automatic for the entire duration of the subscription, meaning charges continue without requiring renewed consent each billing cycle.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

You have authorized ActiveCampaign or its payment processor to charge you repeatedly—at the applicable billing interval plus taxes and other charges—until your subscription ends.
