Hi,
I've had some email from a company that claims they got my email address from a company that went into administration - company A.
I'm fairly sure that when I signed up and bought some tickets from company A, I unchecked / checked the boxes that opted me out of any future mailings.
Company A has gone into administration and company B (who I got the mails from) claim thay got the email addresses from company A.
When I questioned company B they said:

Company A data was then permission passed by Company B. This process has been approved by the ICO for use where the original data owner has gone into administration and Company B has permission from the administrator to make non-selling contact via email with the customer inviting them to join Company B or to opt-out.

So just out of interest, how legal is that? Does'nt the DPA cover this kind of thing??
