To me this is prima facie SPAM. I would send it to SpamCop, laws
notwithstanding, and also not trade with that corporation. But then I am an
evil swine.

All
I used to be more of a slient member but I am starting to notice more and
more DP related issues and feel that I have speak up -even though DP is not
strictly within my remit.
We have a external facing email address for customers which of course is
harvested by various mailing lists. We were sent a marketing email from a UK
based firm with the following disclaimer:

I thought I would share this with the list to show how some firms tackle
privacy and email marketing as this is common theme on this list. Some
obviously acheive this better than others.
