In practice I don't think the 'Mrs Bloggs is subscriber" option fundamentally changes the position. There is still only one "individual subscriber". There are of course many permutations but Michael is effectively describing a hidden agency situation. In the simplest: Fred as agent created the account for Mrs. Unless and until Fred and Mrs uncouple the agency agreement and effectively tell the company Fred can as agent cancel all marketing. In the real world of course the company should ignore this, act on instructions received 'from' the person who ostensibly created the account and leave Fred and Mrs to sort it out. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 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) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
