Unsolicited emails

[MintyMabel]

I have never subscribed for marketing, have opted out of newsletters.

Can you point me to where in your privacy policy it says you can send me emails offering the premium service and why there is no apparent option on the site to ask you not to?

I would like to know this too.

I wouldn't hold too much hope of the privacy notice providing this information. It doesn't even quote the correct data protection legislation:

"Complying with the law and best practice around data
−
The way we store and process data is compliant with the UK 1998 Data Protection Act, the 2018 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other relevant pieces of legislation. We always aim to comply both with the spirit as well as the letter of the law and to be responsible with your data."

The DPA 1998 was replaced by the Data Protection Act 2018 at the same time as GDPR came into effect. It doesn't even exist anymore

Nor can I see any reference to the legal basis that they're relying on for direct marketing activity, which they're required to be transparent about by law. It's one of the worst examples of a privacy notice I've seen.

Hi all

We've posted an update on this thread and will be following up there - so please do take a look. We'll close this one now to keep things tidy.
