I think it's an EU thing, but still affects websites run in the UK if they are geared towards the international market0

If only it was always this simple:
Cocktails / Administrivia
Good Evening Dear Customers
We have a couple of new and (we think) very tasty cocktails we'd like to share with you, and there's also a teensy tiny bit of administrivia for you to look at.
TWO VERY TASTY COCKTAILS
First up we have the G.D.P.R., a twist on the classic Martinez. It uses a dry gin, rather than the more traditional Old Tom, so to balance that we've added some sweet Recioto. Helpfully, that also lets us give this drink its highly topical name. (Gin - Dubonnet - Peychauds - Recioto. Geddit?)
G.D.P.R.
30ml Brokers London Dry Gin
30ml Dubonnet
3 dashes Peychauds Bitters
5ml Recioto
Add all ingredients to an ice filled mixing glass and stir until chilled and diluted. Double strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass and garnish with a Maraschino cherry.
Next we have the Subscription Prescription, a fancy-schmancy version of the traditional Jamaican cold remedy of overproof rum and lime juice.
Subscription Prescription
37.5ml Plantation O.F.T.D. rum
12.5ml King's Ginger
12.5ml Lime syrup
2 dashes citric acid solution
37.5ml chilled water
Add all ingredients to a soda siphon. Double charge the siphon with CO2. Foam into an ice filled rocks glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.
ADMINISTRIVIA
We send you our marketing emails because either you subscribed online via our website or directly via Mailchimp, or because you gave us your email address in person in one of our three shops.
Here is the information we store about you
• Your Email Address
We share the information with Mailchimp for the purpose of sending our emails (like this one). It is not used for any other purpose or shared with any other party.
You can change your email preferences or unsubscribe completely at any time (click or tap on the link).
And that's it - see you soon.
Cheers
The Good Spirits Co.

Cant disagree with @RodneyCharltonTrotta , I've been working on GDPR for Cov Uni for over 18 months, it is due to take effect in just 9 days time, many companies are nowhere near ready, in fact some still dont know what it is!! Look at the link Rodney has given it is very worthwhile.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:

Havent been involved in GDPR in the day job but I've created a privacy statement for my part-time wedding photography business.
Its a major headache as photographers now can't just put in the T&C that any photos of clients taken can be used on portfolio/social media platforms for advertising. Clients have to physically opt in to the option on the contract now.
Also had to mention cookies on the website, targetted advertising.
Any hard copies of contract paperwork now has to be in a room which can be locked.
I've also had to go back and get retrospective permission of everyone who's image sits on my website.
Proper ball ache!1 -
Loving it...have completely ignored every freakin' email from (what seems like) hundreds of legal/accounting/financial begging me to opt in, when they have themselves ignored every bloody "unsubscribe" I have tried to do from their sites for the last few years.
Can't wait for Saturday!!!!

Don't ignore - send the below. If they ever contact you again they will be in breach of GDPR and you will have a claim against themTelMc32 said:Loving it...have completely ignored every freakin' email from (what seems like) hundreds of legal/accounting/financial begging me to opt in, when they have themselves ignored every bloody "unsubscribe" I have tried to do from their sites for the last few years.

Please NOTE:
No thank you & Please note; in advance of GDPR and in recognition of current Data Protection Act. Please ensure this is applied across ALL your departments.
I opt out of any and all marketing by removing consent and by officially objecting to you processing it under legitimate interests.
I also request that you delete all personal data that you have on me other than the small amount necessary to retain me on your stop list, and where you can’t delete it I request that you stop any further processing of it.
Should you have passed my personal data on to any other companies, even within a larger group which you may belong to, I request that you pass my request on to them.
Where you are a data processor I request you to delete all of my information from your systems and alert the relevant Data Controllers to my request regarding their systems also.
I do not consent to the processing of my personal data for any reason other than a service which I have specifically requested. I also formally object on the grounds of causing distress to any and all processing of my personal data other than for a service which I have specifically requested. These statements outweigh any legitimate interests you believe you may have to continue processing.
You may not store, transmit, sell, monetise, profile, share, analyse or otherwise process my personal data for any reason other than a direct request I have made; this includes all direct marketing including the product discussed in this email and any other product.
Any consent you may previously have received is revoked. Consent is also revoked for any ‘soft opt-in’ consent that you believe exists. No consent which you have received or may receive in the future from any indirect course such as marketing lists can supersede this statement.
Place my details on your ‘stop list’ to actively prevent further marketing contact.

Not long to go now, it (GDPR) comes in on Friday, many people are going to get a shock, only recently the Uni of Greenwich has been £120k (under the old rules), if they pay by 15th June they will get a 20% reduction (circa £96k to pay) bit this is only the beginning, believe me.0

I'm looking forward to Friday, as far as I understand it no one is ever going to be able to contact me again.
Bit of peace and quiet.2 -
If I get 1 more F***ing email today about F***ing Data Protection I am gonna scream3

The fine was for a security breach in which the personal data of 19,500 students was placed online.
The data included names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, signatures and - in some cases - physical and mental health problems.1 -
Thanks. The word ‘fine’ would have helped a little.1

No more double negatives I believe. You have to positively confirm you consent to someone storing your information.
Looking forward to receiving no more spam0 -

AOL appear today have gone into meltdown because of this.
My email is locked & won't let me back in.
Apparently they know & are working on it.
By this I think they mean they have covered their ears & are shouting 'la la la not listening'.

50% of the emails I got told me I had to opt out, only the decent companies asked me to actually opt back in.
The spammers must think they have a loophole.0 -
You should have received at least three emails over the last month requesting that you opt in so that you can retain AOL access. If no opt in, they will block you.KBslittlesis said:AOL appear today have gone into meltdown because of this.

They may have legitimate business interest to store of process your info - that's subjective though.Swisdom said:No more double negatives I believe. You have to positively confirm you consent to someone storing your information.

All these emails going out, are in the main are pointless other than companies being able to show they've taken some action. Those companies who delete their entire database based on people not responding to emails are stupid and just don't understand the regulations.
The test comes in the coming weeks and months with regards to what processes you have in place. People would think we've not had data protection laws before they come in on Friday.4 -
Today, a day before the Stones concert, AXS emailed me with a reminder and details of timings, where to pick up the VIP stuff, entrances etc...
Also being a day before GDPR comes into force, they also ccd 245 other people (instead of bcc). So now my email address is being circulated by uncle Tom Cobbly and all - so far today I've received a dozen emails offering tickets for sale from amongst the other 245 recipients.
You couldn't make it up!!7 -
