    Yes, but obviously they don’t, and legally the definitions are blurry.

    Honda at least differentiates between marketing material from their sales department and marketing material from their maintenance department (which they don’t consider marketing).

    Where I am at least, their automated texts come with a link to manage the messaging you want to see from them, with options to choose exactly which types of messages (if any) you want to see.
