Within our organisation we have a few projects running looking at stakeholder mapping in order to raise the profile of our organisation and select projects, network and in some circumstances to drum up business.
Colleagues have located contact details of stakeholders through various means, publicly available, looking online, networking and word of mouth. They have collected names, organisations and email addresses.
I am a little uncertain how to advise given that it's not data that's been given to us. I've initially said an article 14 notice will be required, and assuming it will be done on grounds of legitimate interests with data subjects able to object. One project will be quite targeted in who they approach and is more business driven. But another is essentially creating a mailing list for a set project and want to email all the people on the list to tell them about it and invite participants, there would be a link to the privacy notice with a right to opt out of emails with every email set.
I think I'm right in saying PECR would allow us to email without prior consent if it's a corporate contact?
Is there anything about this that screams it can't be done? Have I missed something? I'm just a bit apprehensive about the fact it's not data given by data subjects.
Thanks.
