Even if there was a channel for him to receive an "anti"sales-lead, is it realistic to expect that to kick in between Friday evening and Saturday morning? Or are you suggesting that as well as (what seems clearly to be) an automated process for distributing sales leads, they should also have an automated process (or person working 24x7) for recognising and distributing prohibition notices? [I can see a certain parity, but realistically life's not like that.] I thought it was reasonably well accepted (if not particularly good practice) that a marketing "opt-out" can take a month to work its way through the system? > >His fault?

The mechanism above, or something else? -- Roland Perry ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm Any queries about sending or receiving messages please send to the list owner [log in to unmask] Full help Desk - please email [log in to unmask] describing your needs To receive these emails in HTML format send the command: SET data-protection HTML to [log in to unmask] (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
