Hi
I am trying to get a definite position on the use of personal email
addresses held by Data Controllers. Do they need explicit permission (opt-
in) before these can be used either by the company themselves or a third
party. Or does an opt-out option on a sent email suffice. Do Data
Controllers need permission to use personal email addresses under the Data
Protection Act as it stands or is a decision still pending on the
Communications Data Protective Directive in the EU ??
Any help would be appreciated to get this straight in my mind as everywhere
I look seems to have a different slant on interpreting the Act.
Many thanks
Martin
