Video: Data protection and marketing – treading the fine line
28th September, 2021
Ensuring marketing communications comply with data protection regulations is a minefield.
There are seemingly contradictory laws and guidelines which make knowing what you can and can’t do to use personal data to market your products and services very complex. What is legitimate interest marketing? Can I still use the soft opt-in? What do I need to do to get valid consent? What’s the difference between a service message and a marketing message and why is it an issue? What do I need to do to stay on the right side of the ICO?
Using some recent cases involving Sports Direct, Papa Johns and American Express, Phil Tompkins takes a look at marketing under the current data protection regime, covering a whole range of topics including use of the PECR soft opt-in, and when a service message crosses the boundary and becomes a marketing message.
This is the second in our autumn commercial law webinar programme, looking at a whole host of topics. For information on other events in the series, click here.
