I am a lawyer, but I trust the Registrar too - we advise clients that email
addresses are personal data - no questions asked, open and shut case. There
are some trickier issues (cookies for one..)

I am not a lawyer but the Data Protection Commissioner's site includes a
compliance note called "Internet: Protection of Privacy - Data Subjects"
which states:
"E-mail addresses are personal data. If you find yourself on a directory or
user list you can request to be omitted
from it.
"You can also ask not to be sent 'junk e-mail or SPAM' and where the sender
is based in the EEA they should
comply with your request."
That will do for me.
