So what is everyone doing about this? New DP Act coming into force in the UK on 25th May: so now everyone has to renew consent to be on an email list and have any of their personal information held. I have already had emails from a number of non-music organisations who hold my email address, requesting permission to continue sending me emails. This potentially has implications for evety folk club and other music organisation in the land, so how is everyone dealing with it?
I made a start tonight, sending an email to all on an e-list of small club of which I am a committee member, only 52 on the e-list, but I have other lists of 200 or more. 12 responses so far, which is not bad for a couple of hours, but then one telling me I'd got the wording wrong!! HELP!! Is there a fail-safe standard format?
Also, for some of these small clubs, I guess people send from their own personal email address: is it now incumbent upon us to have all data in a more anonymous club addresses email?
