RE: UKNM: Managing a mailing list

[Alex Chapman]

Sorry to be so boring - but all of you guys who are collecting and using 

this data and carrying out surveys - are you all registered with the Data 

Protection Registrar - its only about ?75 to do so and it could save you a 

huge fine.


Also are you asking for the right consents to collect and use the data. If 

any of it is "sensitive" i.e. relates to race, religion, sexual 

orientation, political views then you need explicit consent. Otherwise you 

need "informed consent".


This has probably been dealt with before on this list - but I am new here.


Any other legal questions just fire them this way - we are a firm of 

specialist internet, new media and intellectual property lawyers.


all the best

Hi All


I'd be grateful for directions to any reading on how one managers a e-mail

list. I'm a management consultant with a list of about 500 contact names 

and

I'd like to send them a personalised newsletter once per month.  Thanks.


Bill
