Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?

But do still take it seriously, find out what you need to do and have a plan - regulators tend to look more favourably on those who are in breach but can demonstrate knowledge and control over the situation, than those who just find out about it in the processing of a complaint

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?

Absolutely Jobbo - bang on and a source of a bit of contention here. Headquarters have mandated we get consent for the CS surveys which means now we can now lose out on the opportunity to do them

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?

The Customer Satisfaction Surveys is an interesting one. I don't think they need Consent currently - although sending them repeatedly isn't right.

or write to them - as in Post. Don't need consent for that. Rev interesting policy on your "Soft Opt-In's" - "you're a customer who's bought something off us (legitimate interest, with a pre-ticked opt-in)" Do you feel you retain your legitimate interest if the customer subsequen...

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?

Soft opt-in is very specific - it probably does apply to many people on your company's mailing list, Rev, but it'd be dangerous for plenty of businesses to rely on it: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/electronic-and-telephone-marketing/electronic-mail-marketing/ says, 'you must ha...

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?

This is where good legal advice is vital: Soft Opt-In There is an exception called the ‘soft opt-in’. This means that consent is not required if you are sending marketing message about similar products and services to your customers/clients or those you have negotiated with to provide products or s...

That's what an ICO checklist says, but it's not what GDPR says. OK from the actual regulation itself... http://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-5419-2016-INIT/en/pdf Section 32 relating to consent... "Consent should be given by a clear affirmative act establishing a freely given, speci...

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?

Soft opt in was fine, and is still fine under GDPR, e.g. a pre-ticked box, as long as the wording was clear, unambiguous etc. so long as we're talking about processing on the basis of Consent (rather that one of the other legal basis's of processing), the ICO disagrees. https://ico.org.uk/for-organ...

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?

A great example of the interpretation is this: how many companies are emailing you now asking you to re-consent or refresh your consent? It’s unnecessary unless you were already in breach of the current DPA regs when collecting those email addresses originally. But loads of big companies think they...

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?
