Any company I didn't give my data to directly and have never heard of is a concern. Many companies sending out GDPR emails need to learn that processing data is a liability they should avoid if possible.
- jacquesm 8y agoYes, that would be a concern. But this is not that situation, the letter writer states clearly they are a customer of the company and they use examples from other companies to create a situation of faux concern about the addressee. That's not a request made in good faith and that street runs both ways.
- mlthoughts2018 8y agoThat’s a fair point, but seems to be overly focused on how the template states things about being a customer. The template clearly is intended for a broad set of situations, and easily modifiable fir businesses where you did not realize they had data about you.
- jacquesm 8y agoIn that situation I would write a completely different letter. But as a customer of a company in good standing this letter is over the top and in some places dishonest.
- mlthoughts2018 8y agoI would still see this letter as appropriate, with minor tweaks, to a company “in good standing.” (More broadly, I’m not sure I know of even a single company I would consider to be in good standing on this topic without first making them prove it. Certainly not any medium-sized or large company, however good-natured they might seem.)
