Please can someone point me to the relevant parts of the legislation
that prevent people from obtaining email addresses from websites for
marketing purposes? I have been looking at the Privacy and Electronic
Communications (EC Directive) Regulations and the Data Protection Act as
they apply to marketing activities. I have a note saying, "No
harvesting addresses from websites", but I omitted to note my source or
reasoning for this. Can anyone help? Is it just the fair processing
requirements of the first data protection principle?
Best wishes,
