<div>I have been told both things. That company email accounts wouldn't fall on its scope (even if they contained the full name) and that such usage would be improperly treating PII.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>GDPR seems to mostly leave that part to Directive 2002/58/EC, which isn't completely clear:</div>
<blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex">
<div>Article 13</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Unsolicited communications</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. The use of automated calling systems without human intervention (automatic calling machines), facsimile machines (fax) or electronic mail for the purposes of direct marketing may only be allowed in respect of subscribers who have given their prior consent.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, where a natural or legal person obtains from its customers their electronic contact details for electronic mail, in the context of the sale of a product or a service, in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC, the same natural
or legal person may use these electronic contact details for direct marketing of its own similar products or services provided that customers clearly and distinctly are given the opportunity to object, free of charge and in an easy manner, to such use of electronic
contact details when they are collected and on the occasion of each message in case the customer has not initially refused such use.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3. Member States shall take appropriate measures to ensure that, free of charge, unsolicited communications for purposes of direct marketing, in cases other than those referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, are not allowed either without the consent of the
subscribers concerned or in respect of subscribers who do not wish to receive these communications, the choice between these options to be determined by national legislation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4. In any event, the practice of sending electronic mail for purposes of direct marketing disguising or concealing the identity of the sender on whose behalf the communication is made, or without a valid address to which the recipient may send a request
that such communications cease, shall be prohibited.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>5. Paragraphs 1 and 3 shall apply to subscribers who are natural persons. Member States shall also ensure, in the framework of Community law and applicable national legislation, that the legitimate interests of subscribers other than natural persons with
regard to unsolicited communications are sufficiently protected.</div>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It talks mainly about natural persons, but others should as well have adequate, protections. so...

<div>The fact that in RIPE database all those role accounts emails are considered "personal data sets" in the RIPE db may or may not also influence how it should be treated w.r.t its treatments.</div>

<div>I’m not sure if this is true in all the cases, because a physical person can also have PI resources and then a personal email in the database.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There is one more point, which I’m discussing with the Spanish DPA in the constitutional court, and it is the classification between personal and company emails, when they have your name and family name, you use it for personal matters (even if the domain
is from a company – example, you can have separate emails for business and personal, bus using the same domain), and if the collection of data was authorized or not, and if it was just data collection or also spam.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is not easy. In Spain, the spam (even with business emails) is not allowed according to a further law (LSSI). I guess it varies from country to country.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, I think it has been said a few days ago, harvesting the databases for spam is against the AUP.</div>

<div>A good summary Sabri.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One of the points that has not been addressed (fully) is the fact that the mailing went out to 'role accounts' which are normally company accounts (if some used a personal email address for that, than this will have suddenly become a business email address),
so GDPR applicability would be remote, if at all.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps sadly for some, but this is not how it works.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>First of all, there is the requirement for the non-EU company to intentionally provide goods or services to the EU. That can be found in article 3(2)a.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This means that, per EU rules, the GDPR will not apply to the mom&pop ice cream shop in San Francisco that takes online orders from a EU citizen that happens to be visiting the U.S. The GDPR only affects companies (in or outside the EU) that market to
EU citizens or territories.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Second, and most important, for a law to protect it must be enforceable. For a law to be enforceable, a court must be able to issue a judgement, and that judgement must be executable.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>EU judgements based on the GDPR are not necessarily enforceable outside the EU, at least not in the U.S. Treaties must be in place, and a good example is the Hague Convention on Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the U.S., foreign judgements are enforceable if they comply with the Uniform Foreign Money Judgments Recognition Act. This law specifies that a judgement may not be recognized if the foreign court did not have "personal jurisdiction" on the U.S. entity.
If that entity does not have a physical presence in the EU, establishing the foreign court’s personal jurisdiction will be very difficult if not impossible.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But, for folks that did not go to law school, here is a simpler explanation: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2FlW79PfU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2FlW79PfU</a>9PfU :-)</div>
