<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kaleun96, post: 7802729, member: 92635&quot;]It&#039;s not only the email address itself that is important but whether it can be used to identify someone. You could have <a href="mailto:dsbsajdsfhd@gmail.com">dsbsajdsfhd@gmail.com</a> and if that email address can then be searched to identify a person, that&#039;s a problem. That&#039;s a real possibility given email addresses are unique and perhaps the most common identifying attribute for someone online.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe it&#039;s for this reason that GDPR considers either of the following to be personal information:</p><p>- A personal email address (e.g. from Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook etc)</p><p>- A work email address with your full name</p><p><br /></p><p>So yes, a leak of personal email address with or without names could be considered a breech of GDPR. Certainly at the tech companies I&#039;ve worked at we&#039;re extremely careful with user email addresses and sending out a marketing email with every user CC&#039;d would be a serious data breech.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
