From a GDPR perspective,sending an email gives the recipient the implicit permission to store and read the contents and metadata of the email, but not to transfer it to other parties (except the data processors that process the email) or publish it.
- crummy 8y agoDoes that mean I'm not allowed to forward emails you send me?
- Spivak 8y agoNobody is going to be able to give you a definitive answer because it hasn't been tested in the US in the context of copyright or in the EU under the GPDR. My guess is that forwarding would be fine but publishing wouldn't (in the US) and that you as an end user don't have to worry about the GPDR.
- occamrazor 8y agoHard to say, because the law is new. My guess is that it is legal as long as it is not in a professional/commercial context, or you remove my PII, or you have a clear and legitimate business reason, e.g. forwarding to a colleague within the company who is responsible for the subject matter. Examples of illegal behavior would be publishing it, forwarding it to a marketer, or eg. for a recruiting agency forwarding to a company fir which I haven’t given permission.
