Advice and Assistance : Direct Marketing
If you are a company that intends to use the names and contact details of council
officers (or other officers) provided in this response for direct marketing, you need to
be registered with the Information Commissioner to process personal data for this
purpose. You must also check that the individual (whom you wish to contact for
direct marketing purposes) is not registered with one of the Preference Services to
prevent Direct Marketing. If they are you must adhere to this preference.
You must also ensure you comply with the Privacy Electronic and Communications
Regulations (PECR). For more information follow this Link
www.ico.org.uk
For the avoidance of doubt the provision of council (and other) officer names
and contact details under FOI does not give consent to receive direct
marketing via any media and expressly does not constitute a ‘soft opt-in’
under PECR.
