No, I will not re-sign up for your emails. Sorry.

Working in the pensions industry this has been getting rammed down our throats for weeks now, to the point that we've had to take compulsory online learning modules for it. The changes between this and the old DPA aren't all that massive to be honest, it's just now on a bigger scale.

I'm getting 5-10 emails a day about this from various companies I've used over the years. It's rather irritating.

Haha yep, apparently the DP in GDPR stands for data protection and not double penetration.

In the last 2 days I've had about 50 emails asking me if its OK to keep sending me
Emails that have no interest to me so I just deleted them as normal.
Will they go away now.I hope so cos I get 3 a day off group on and never bought anything.

Email them back saying this
I would like to know how you use my personal data to make automated decisions within the context of your business. Then, after you have told me this, I would like you to delete all personal data records that you have that are related to me, as per the specifications of the new GDPR legislation.

But then when they email you back they are by proxy kinda breaking the law. Ahhh the panic, I love it.

Just one example of the dozens of miles of red tape which will hogtie us if we stayed in the EU.

East Germany or
West Germany?

Only one has confused me.
My car insurance brokers keep emailing me saying they can't send me stuff they "think" I'm interested in (wrong!) Unless I give them permission.

Clearly I don't want a thing about their associates or any other attempt to upsell so I'm delighted to ignore .... however:

Does this mean they won't be able to send my my renewal reminder through?

companies should be free to abuse your personal data, brexit means brextit neil!
