Frequently Asked Questions
Under what law are you allowed to send me emails? The protection of personal data and the delivery of marketing by email are governed in the United Kingdom by separate but related laws. In addition to data protection legislation such as the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (as amended), also known as “PECR”, is the principal law that covers direct marketing by email.
What is a “corporate subscriber”? In terms of PECR, the subscriber is the individual or legal entity that is party to a contract with a provider of public electronic communications services. It specifically defines a corporate subscriber as a corporate body with separate legal status (e.g., limited companies, LLPs, Scottish partnerships, and public bodies). This excludes sole traders or members of ordinary partnerships, who are treated as individual subscribers. ICO guidance clarifies this distinction. Any email address operated for a corporate subscriber is considered a corporate email address. If it contains a person’s name or job title, it is a personal corporate email address (still treated under corporate rules for PECR, but with UK GDPR considerations for personal data).
Why have you not asked for my consent? Your email address has been identified as pertaining to a “corporate subscriber” within the meaning of PECR Regulation 2. Regulation 22 prohibits unsolicited marketing messages by email to “individual subscribers” (with exemptions like existing customers), but this does not apply to corporate subscribers. The ICO has published guidance clarifying that consent is not required under PECR to email corporate/business email addresses. Data protection laws (UK GDPR) still apply to any personal data linked to that address (e.g., if it includes your name or identifiable job title). Such personal data is lawfully processed under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR (legitimate interests), as detailed below.
Where did you get my email address? We obtain business email addresses through various compliant sources, which may include: submissions via forms on our website (e.g., contact or enquiry forms), publicly available business directories or company information, partnerships with reputable data providers, or other legitimate business networking methods. The specific source(s) for your contact record can be provided upon request—please contact us using the details below.
