17.0 FOR HOW LONG IS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION RETAINED BY US?
18.0 EMAIL MARKETING
B2B email marketing is still acceptable under GDPR. The data for some email campaigns has been bought from a reputable and GDPR compliant data organisation. Consent is generally obtained on all marketing data at point of collection and is renewed by the data company periodically. However, it is important to note that consent is not the only valid ground for processing data under the GDPR. Due to the stringent consent requirements, including the need for granularity (which is difficult to achieve for the data company and its suppliers, due to the size and broadness of our customer bases), the data company is continuing to supply marketing data on “legitimate interests” grounds under GDPR and Eze Talkis legally covered by this legitimate interest.
This is specifically acknowledged in recital 47 of the GDPR as being a plausible ground for marketing (“The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest”). In our case, we rely on legitimate interests on the basis that a business has made its details available and it is for the benefit of all businesses that marketing is facilitated. For businesses which do not wish to receive marketing, there are legitimate means to prevent it, including not supplying the details for inclusion in business registers, objecting to direct marketing under the GDPR, and/or registering with the TPS/CTPS.
In the case of non-limited businesses, the Privacy of Electronic Communications Regulations apply and dictate that express must be obtained, and the data company complies with this legal requirement.
The data company remains the data controller in all instances, and is wholly responsible for all its processing activities and ensures it only shares personal data when it is lawful to do so.
All emails sent from Eze Talk give a clear, unambiguous opt out and if selected, you will be removed from all future mailings and added to a suppression list to ensure you receive no future contact.
