No, it is not. You're missing a few key qualifiers that will depend on the country but generally include the notion of "bulk" email (thus directly excluding transactional emails).
A couple examples of such nuancing qualifiers:
- "unless prior permission has been obtained or unless there is a pre-existing commercial relationship between the parties" (UK)
- "for the purposes of direct marketing" (EU)

- withinboredom 3y ago"thus directly excluding transactional emails" I'm not excluding transactional emails because to someone who doesn't want your email ... it is not transactional. You are making a bunch of leaps of logic: 1. The person you are emailing is the same person using your service. 2. The person you are emailing consents to you emailing them about your service. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, it doesn't matter if it is "transactional" or not, "legally spam" or not. This is just basic human decency and if you cannot follow it ... then this is why we need laws, I guess.
