Dropped in my inbox https://www.hagensbees.co.uk/ looks suspiciously like Bee Equipment, Stephanie Von Hagen ??????

One of the directors of bee equipment, as usual they are flouting the GDPR regulations and using bee equipment mailing list to send out the 'new' company's spam

I got the email too, feels like a GDPR breach to me

Ditto.

Same with me. I wonder where they got my e-mail adress from, I've never bought anything from them. Wonder if they got the info off the forum ?

 

[Fellstoflats]

Ditto.

I too was baffled - came on here to see if anyone else had got it. Not impressed.

No email addresses are available publicly on here and you can rest assured that any of us who can see them would not be trading them. Bee Equipment could be in trouble if they have passed in their customers list. If the list was obtained and used without their knowledge that's even more serious !

Anyone who has had the email fancy reporting it?

Not had the mail -and hope I don't get it but I do hope that the guy who complained to an entirely different (unrelated) bee supply company recently and as a result had his name and email address published on Facebook made a complaint.

That is vey naughty and worthy of a fine.

Being honest I'm more annoyed by the oft repeated mantra of can't talk to you unless you confirm x y z . It's security you know! This goes on when the buggers phoned me on my mobile! I can easily block spam posts

 

[BeeBird]

I got the email as well

Is the other way around still restricted though?!

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

whatever they believe, and whatever flannel they include in any 'small print' they can't decide, it's part of legislation - it's still a blatant breach of GDPR

From that it would seem that Hagen bees is working with BE. So could this be just another way for Patrick to sell BE gear? or am I being extremely cynical?

Exactly.
More of the same old underhand dealings from Team Patrick..

I've just found the email in my junk folder (where it belongs!) and have written back to ask where they obtained my contact details as I consider it a GDPR issue. Let's see what the response is as I am inclined to make a complaint...

They'll dismiss responsibility and refer you to their privacy policy.

I had the email too, but just dumped it.
