Has anyone experience of MyOffers.co.uk? The website collects personal data
for permission-based marketing. Organisations pay for MyOffers to host their
questionnaires and there are prizes on offer.Individuals have to opt-in to
e-mail marketing but are also offered an opt-out at each email contact. A
further fee is paid to MyOffers in respect of each positive response which
is I think is calculated by collecting data about webites visited (by
MyOffers tracking via cookies presumably)
It seems to me that MyOffers and the organisations involved are both data
controllers. Individuals should be about the tracking as well as their right
of access to their information but are there any other issues here?
