Is this a legal fail in any way? Quotes from a let­ter received from the RAC today:

You’ve asked us not to send you any inform­a­tion about the other products and ser­vices RAC could offer you.

Indeed I did.

Nor­mally we wouldn’t, but we’ve made some import­ant changes at RAC that could bene­fit you. So, as a val­ued mem­ber, we wanted to make sure you were aware of them.

Trans­la­tion: Because we actu­ally don’t give a fuck about you, we’ll ignore your stated instruc­tions and tell you anyway.

Did they even look at the chance this would piss off more people than would buy from them? Idiots.

 

One Response to RAC ignore your marketing opt-outs

    As I under­stand it you can put in a com­plaint under the Data Pro­tec­tion Act. I asked about it on cix a long time ago after a cer­tain BMW deal­er­ship in Lon­don who I had the mis­for­tune to have ser­vice my bike ignored my requests. Don’t know if any action was taken against them (prob­ably not) but I didn’t get a mail­ing from them again.
