Hello Shay,
I'm aware of "Inferred Consent" , but I have never purchased anything
from Digilife or had any association with them other than receiving a
couple of their Newsletters. I cannot remember subscribing to their
Newsletters but I will accept that perhaps I did.
There is no way "Inferred Consent" could be interpreted in this
situation.
"If recipients don’t object, is that consent?
No, silence does not constitute consent. Just because a person does
not actively unsubscribe from your mailing list does not mean they
consent to receiving commercial electronic messages from you. You must
have either express or inferred consent before you send such messages."
This email from MacResolve is Unethical to say the least, and the
legalities are suspect. Certainly not the right way to start a business.
Cheers,
Ronni
