Hi All, Would cold emailing fall under the gov uk section about marketing? I was considering following @seemly template but before I do, I am wondering if the email could be classified as spam with the potential of a fine if reported? Or would this not apply?
Email marketing and text messages
You’re only allowed to send marketing emails to individual customers if they’ve given you permission.
No, GDPR is about data protection not cold emailing. There are a few caveats to it though. Best off emailing a public facing email address, from their website etc. and your product must be relevant to their business needs, basically.
