Under the new First Principle of the 1998 Act, you have to be "fair" to the
data subject, rather than the person giving/selling/renting you the data. If
the person on the list you "acquired" did not give specific consent to the
list originator to pass their details to you for mailing purposes, you must
inform the data subject of your identity as a new data controller processing
their data.
You should also seek their consent for direct mailing.
