Bfd, businesses can legally sell personal data under the GDPR, but it depends on context, consent, and transparency. If you tick the box etc, then you have given consent and you need to read exactly what you have given consent for, ideally before ticking the box of course!

Did you note this bit Bfd?

"You don’t need consent to market to businesses (unless they’re sole traders).

If you’re marketing to business contacts within a limited company, PLC, LLP, etc., you don’t need explicit consent."

However, many people are unaware of this, so it’s essential to understand the rules.

"When it comes to direct marketing, such as email, phone, SMS text, and messaging, there are specific rules regarding consent. Let’s break it down:

Consent under GDPR:

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) introduced new rules around what constitutes consent as the lawful basis for processing personal data.

To obtain valid consent, an individual must take a positive action to confirm their consent, based on a clear understanding of what they’re consenting to.

Pre-ticked boxes, ambiguous wording, or deceptive practices are not allowed for obtaining consent1.

PECR (Privacy & Electronic Communications Regulations):

PECR sets out rules for direct marketing in the UK, covering email, SMS, messaging, and phone marketing.

When PECR requires “consent” for marketing, it means GDPR-level consent.

Therefore, if you need consent for direct marketing, you must comply with both PECR and GDPR rules.

Business Contacts and Consent:

You don’t need consent to market to businesses (unless they’re sole traders).

If you’re marketing to business contacts within a limited company, PLC, LLP, etc., you don’t need explicit consent.

However, many people are unaware of this, so it’s essential to understand the rules.

Best Practices:

When collecting personal data online, consider having customers click or tick a box to confirm their consent according to your privacy policy.

Include details of the right to withdraw consent in your privacy information and consent requests.

In summary, forgetting to tick the box to deny consent could potentially lead to retailers using your details for marketing purposes. It’s crucial to be aware of the rules and ensure that you actively manage your consent preferences. Always review privacy policies and understand how your data will be used! 😊🔍📝

That's my point Bfd, how many people forget to tick the box etc, and then they've consented, and bobs your uncle! It won't go for pounds Bfd, no way, it's currently sitting at 34p with a market cap of 433 million, it isn't going for pounds per share imo.

Bfd, how many people remember to tick the right box every time, or untick it?!!!

Hi Blackfox, I think Ashley will do a deal with Kamani, whether he takes it outright or a higher percentage stake. I have a feeling there are other plans afoot as well, Kamani is quite a big influence in Dubai and there's plenty of money sloshing about in Dubai. I'd really like to see what these two have planned, it could be very interesting!

If Ashley did go for a buy out, I agree 50-60p range is more likely, unless the share price starts to motor quite rapidly on him trying to reach that 30% in a hurry! my views.

Ashley snapped up I Saw It First and look who owned that! None other than Jalal Kamani, the brother of Mahmud. Ashley is 'friendly' with Jalal by all accounts!

Meanwhile, Ashley is taking Ted Baker. He's taking all the big brands, and eliminating the competitors. That customer data must be worth an absolute fortune. Imagine selling all of that to third parties! He'll be raking it in simply for names and email addys!

If he goes for the 30% holding, that means he's looking to offer on 2 thirds of the shares, being around 846 million, so say 40p his highest price, let's say he buys out at 60p per share max, he needs to find 500 million, chicken feed for Ashley no doubt, but a heck of a lot to you and I! just a guess, nothing more and no guarantees he will offer.

Apologies, blackfox

Backfox, not sure what Ashley's highest buy in price is, do you know off hand?

If big Mike goes for the 30% control, then we need to look for the highest price he bought at for an indicator of a bid price plus incentive on top for shareholders to part with shares. my views.

Started buying Boo at the same time he started buying Currys, so it looks as though a bid is in the offing from big Mike before too long imo. He now owns more shares than Kamani. I think he'll go for control and go for the 30% and it could be quick! my views.

The 52 week high is about to go on 19 May, bang on MA is accummulating fast I reckon. More holdings rns's on the way?

So MA has accummulated more shares to take Frasers to 23%. Nailed on, MA's going for it. 30% he has to make a bid at a min of the highest price over the past 12 months. Less than 30%, he can bid what he likes, but the Board might well reject it. Consortium bid, and it gets interesting. Whatever, it does look as though Ashley is going to make a go for Boohoo, and I suspect there have already been talks with the Boohoo Board. Remember, all that customer data is worth an absolute fortune. Things are hotting up folks!

That word began with a by the way, as in sat on back side!

when will this govt finally get what it has done? companies delisting from the stock exchange in droves, companies moving out of the uk after the brexit hammer finally fell, consumers having to pay higher prices all round for everything, what's economic or competitive thats left for the uk? nothing, sunak and his cronies have closed britain and its isles down, most companies now have a base in a tax friendly regime, kamani and his family now spend most of their time in dubai, no one can be ****d with the high taxes, and high inflation that the uk continues to deliver. sunak now talks about offering tax incentives for people to stay here, but it's too late, he's offering it half heartedly after the horse has bolted.

the kamanis offered employment to leicester and beyond, in areas deprived of the chance to work, and in the end, this hapless govt forced the business to close the factories and put people out of work, who then become onerous on the state for benefit. why is sunak and this govt so so short sighted? don't even answer. they've closed the uk down, it's no longer open for business, and anyone with any sense will move their operations out of the uk. my views.

“For us to move out of Leicester, it’s very easy for us to take all our production offshore,” he said. “Lots of people in the fashion industry have moved offshore. We are still here and sometimes, sometimes, it feels like we get punished for it, just sometimes.”

With concerns among campaigners and industry sources that Boohoo was looking to move more of its supply base abroad, Kamani did not answer directly whether he had been looking to do this."

who could blame him if he did? The Tories have driven all manufacturing businesses out of the UK. Brexit sealed the fate, as the import charges to get materials in to the UK has been a crippling cost for many.
