From the ICO's DM Guidance:
"... organisations cannot assume consent from a failure to opt out unless
this is part of a positive step such as signing up to a service or
completing a transaction. For example, they cannot assume consent from
non-response to an email, as this would not be a positive indication of
agreement."

Subject: [data-protection] Absence of refusal and the presence of consent
Looking for some official guidance on the absence of refusal not equating to
the presence of consent.
I'm clear myself but I need something official to substantiate the position.
Thanks
Ian
