  • Do not use, or cause to be used, a publicly available electronic communications service to send an unsolicited direct marketing communication by an automatic calling machine, a facsimile machine or electronic mail to a subscriber or user, natural or legal person, unless the subscriber or user has given prior consent in writing (regulation 9(1)).
  • You may use electronic mail contact details obtained from customers in relation to the sale of a product or service to market your own similar products or services without fresh consent only if customers are given the opportunity to object, free of charge and in an easy and simple manner, when the details are collected and on the occasion of each message where the customer has not initially refused (regulation 9(2)).
  • If you use any other means of communication for direct marketing, make sure, at no charge to the subscriber or user, that no such communication is sent once the subscriber or user requests that it cease (regulation 9(3)).
  • Do not send direct marketing electronic mail that disguises or conceals the identity of the sender on whose behalf it is made, that contravenes regulation 6 of the Electronic Commerce (General) Regulations, that has no valid address to which the recipient may send a request that the communications cease, or that encourages recipients to visit websites that contravene that regulation (regulation 9(4)).
