Unauthorised promotional material e-mailed to material sent to individuals.
Six people complained to the DPA because they received promotional e-mails without their consent and/or despite explicit requests not to receive promotional e-mails from the Skroutz.com.cy website. Five of the complainants had asked to stop receiving messages about the use of "unsubscribe" and/or e-mail to the website moderator, without success. The webmaster provided evidence that one of the complainants had purchased products from the website. However, there was no clear information on how the addresses of the other complainants were obtained. He (webmaster) claimed that the reason why the complainants continued to receive messages despite the request to unsubscribe was because of the change in the email messaging platform.
