Yep, new rule within EU about other Peeps or Organisations holding your Personal Data and what they intend to do or not to do with it, and how you have a right to know what there policies are, or words to that effect.

And how they are allowed to contact you.

I had one from AOL yesterday. I went through both very long lists of "trusted partners" they sent me and unticked every one of them.  ;D

I must have had about thirty or so in the last month, some from sites I'd forgotten I'd signed up to.

The irony of spamming me with several unsolicited emails asking to consent to further emails I never explicitly agreed to (or had to as part of joining a service) is not lost on me.

Its a Legality they have to do it, or suffer the consequences.

So as I've deleted it[in part because I couldn't scroll down it to read what it said]what if anything happens because I've done nothing about it?
It's only in the deleted file at the moment,so if needed I can retrieve it.

depends who it was from and for what, if its anything thats not going to effect you then I wouldn't worry about.

Ive have a couple to do with Work, with no option to delete or comment on any of it, bottom line being something along the lines of 'Agree with it, Sign it, Return it, otherwise We will take you off Our Approved Suppliers List'  >:(

Don't worry about it, nothing will come of it. If it was genuine, and they really need you to action it, you'll get another one. But, as with anything new like this, scammers are trying to profit from the ignorance/confusion and there will be plenty of spam out there.
