#DirectMarketing #Farm2Fork #HopComs #Karnataka #India The Horticultural Producers' Cooperative Marketing and Processing Society (or HopComs) was set up, promising a fair price for growers and quality fresh food for consumers. But such models need more meaningful government support, without which farmers will eventually turn to private buyers who offer slightly better services and still buy cheap. Either way, it is a lose-lose situation for farmers.

Today I filed 48 complaints against global brands with the Swedish and Polish Supervisory Authorities for #unlawful processing of my #personaldata for the purpose of #illegal #unsolicited #directmarketing activities, under the #GDPR and unlawful #email #tracking under #ePrivacy.

The UK Information Commissioner has provided new direct marketing guidance clarifying what is and isn't covered by privacy regulations.

Direct marketing in the UK includes any marketing targeted to an individual and through any means. Sounds simple enough right? Most people would consider emails and phonecalls to be caught. But there are also rules to consider around other types of marketing such as:

📨 sending DMs through a social media channel
📨 where your marketing campaigns encourage customers to send on marketing materials to friends and family (refer a friend schemes)
📨 where the marketing is based purely on tracking technology (e.g. cookies, pixels etc.)
