Our company sells bathrooms and we have 4 employees (fitters are self employed). We don't have a "mailing list" as such and we don't send marketing emails.

The only way we gather customer details is by them contacting us for a brochure or home appointment. Am I right in thinking we don't need to gain permission from them retrospectively? We'll only send them a "we haven't heard back from you, are you still interested" kind of email rather than a "look at our new range" type email.

By permission, I mean in the way the likes of MSE have been emailing about recently.

Thank you

Thanks for your response:

We try a couple of times then "dead lead" them, they are then not contacted again.

We don't offer an opt out at the moment.

Data is stored in a Sage database.

We use self employed (could maybe considered sub contractors) guys to fit the bathrooms when sold but everything else is in house (one of the 4 of us)

Hmmmm, it should end up in the inbox of the email address linked with your PH account. If it's not, could you PM me please?

Did you click the "I consent to receiving PMs from strangers on the internet" box in the recently circulated new PH terms & conditions? wink
