General Question about EU GDPR
Assign topic to the user
So I wanted to know if I can automatically add businesses to the online directory in that way, without initially phoning/contacting them to get approval to do that?
Answer:
The problem is not gathering the information from public sources, especially if it is B2 B information. However, if you want to start contacting them you need to have a lawful ground for the processing which, in your case, can be either legitimate interest and consent.
