Emails when someone posts on a thread - data protection issue

35 replies

As you can see I've registered again after deregistering to test something out.

Why do I get emails when someone posts on a thread I'm on when I never actually consented to that as part of the sign up process?

I was sure I hadn't and I just deleted and re-registered and I DEFINITELY didn't consent.

I'm also getting emails when I get @'d on a thread and I'm not sure I agreed to that either.

Any chance of a response?

Sigh, even if you are right it's daft. When I eat in a restaurant I don't have to tell them I want a spoon on my table.

Soup. You can't, is my understanding. You have to consent specifically to each instance - you have to have what they call granular consent. I didn't tick any box to consent to anything being sent.

Do you not consent to being sent emails in general by MNHQ?

Exactly my point. You can't have an opt out under GDPR. What legal basis are you using to send those HQ?

Is an opt-out thing I think.
