E marketing and the law

[truck71]

I'm looking to conduct an e shot campaign for a new business, are there privacy/contact laws I should be aware of?

I'm manually constructing a database and all contacts will be openly available on the net.

Thanks.

True for BtoC but not for BtoB.

True for B2B also, if the email addresses are for specific employees that have not opted in. If they are openly published general contact addresses, info@ contact@ etc then it is ok.

Thanks. Would be B to B using published contact details, will this be ok? No desire to get blacklisted.
