Unsolicited Emails From Galleries, by Cookiemonster on Apr 12, 2018 16:55:01 GMT 1, I am getting quite a few unsoliticited emails from wanky art galleries trying to punt some artists - the obvious question is, is our data/email addresses being sold or shared with other datamining companies?
I have not subscribed to these emails and would like clarification from the powers that be, if this is the case.

Most recent email received was from 'LOL ART AGENCY'.

I have not subscribed to these emails and would like clarification from the powers that be, if this is the case. My wife has also been receiving these, and the only art-related thing she has ever used her email for was to enter the Sale Ends lottery. Most recent email received was from 'LOL ART AGENCY'. |

I get a few emails too.
I wonder if it's sometimes info gathered on here through sales threads, asking for email addresses, or maybe other mailing lists I've signed up to.
Lazarides once forgot to blind copy their mailing list... So I reckon that list has been shared a few times!!

Unsolicited Emails From Galleries, by Cookiemonster on Apr 12, 2018 18:01:56 GMT 1, The email address they get sent to, has only been used to create this account, and have been getting them before the Sale Ends lottery - so it has to be from here. I want to hear what the founder/moderators have to say about it. It is unsolicited, nor was there an opt in when signing up

As for unsolicited calls, sign up to TPS and it seems to stop most.
Everyoneโs data has been compromised knowingly or not, admittedly or not, scraped, sold, audited, targeted many many times, but we will see a shift in the landscape soon enough. But will still always be an issue IMO.

Ask Daniel Silk, the moderators aren't responsible for anything that goes on here.

I really hope itโs not related to this forum. If it is, it means my wife has an account here, and therefore knows how much this stuff *really* costs.

Unsolicited Emails From Galleries, by kendo on Apr 12, 2018 19:54:20 GMT 1, I received the same email. It's something that I have noticed from time to time but they are starting to become more frequent to the point where I'm starting to question - where they are getting my details from? I haven't signed up or made enquiries or shared my information with them!
Are galleries sharing mailing lists? Could it be that someone from a gallery has went out on their own and taken the mailing list with them! It all feels a little underhand and with the new data regulations being introduced in May, more scrutiny will be given to this type of communication.
I have now started to unsubscribe from a lot of mailing lists due to the frequency and annoyance! It's a pity as I've almost taken a broad stroke at it and no doubt have included legitimate galleries who's work I really appreciate!
