<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Trachy Enjoyer, post: 7339323, member: 118358&quot;]Same with NBS...same with Demos...Zeus seems to be recycling the same email list for these new auctions houses...both times a new auction house has been founded in affiliation with Zeus, I am somehow signed up<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie65" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />...isn&#039;t this reuse of emails without permission from the person in violation of EU law? (not to mention their data breach a few months back)</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: yes, this practice is in violation of the law...&quot;With GDPR in place, marketers will only be allowed to send email to people who’ve opted-in to receive messages. While this has already been the case in most European countries under the EU Privacy Directive, GDPR further specifies the nature of consent that’s required for commercial communication. Starting in May 2018, brands have to collect affirmative consent that is “<a href="http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/reform/files/regulation_oj_en.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/reform/files/regulation_oj_en.pdf" rel="nofollow">freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous</a>” to be compliant with GDPR.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Its not a great look to see companies flagrantly disregard the privacy of their customers like this...and to see them remain hosted on auction platforms...we give them money and business so they repay us by<b> illegally</b> swapping/trading our <b>personal</b> information <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>To what degree Zeus or NBS is involved is unclear but Demos received our emails from somewhere (like NBS a few months back. Zeus seems to be the culprit here). Demos has <b>violated </b>the law. Will they still be allowed to participate on Biddr with no consequences? And what of Zeus Numismatics?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
