addresses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Names and surnames<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Company information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchase history<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marketing preferences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because this information can identify an individual, it is protected under GDPR and must be processed lawfully and securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lawful_Basis_for_Processing_Data\"><\/span>Lawful Basis for Processing Data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before sending marketing emails, organizations must have a valid legal basis for processing personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the circumstances, this may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consent from the recipient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legitimate interest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Performance of a contract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compliance with legal obligations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For marketing communications, consent is often the most commonly used legal basis, particularly when contacting new subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organizations should be able to demonstrate when and how consent was obtained if required by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transparency_and_User_Rights\"><\/span>Transparency and User Rights<span

collected<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why the data is being processed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long the data will be stored<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether data is shared with third parties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How individuals can exercise their rights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recipients should be able to easily access this information through a privacy policy or similar document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every marketing email should provide a simple and accessible way for recipients to withdraw their consent or opt out of future communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Removing a subscriber from a mailing list should be straightforward and should not require unnecessary steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span

personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples of security measures include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strong account passwords<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multi-factor authentication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encrypted connections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access controls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secure
