GDPR related question about SPAM email
Assign topic to the user
Answer:
What you are describing is commonly referred to as unsolicited marketing. The EU GDPR states that for marketing you need to obtain the consent of the data subject. Also, the ePrivacy Directive imposes additional constraints if you market by telephone, email or fax.
For example, you can only send direct marketing to someone by email if:
- they have given you consent; or
- you have an existing relationship with them and fall within the so-called similar products and services exemption
Unless one of the two criteria apply I would suggest to file a complaint to your local Supervisory Authority.
