Business Cards And Permission

Reading “Chip’s Deliverability Tips”:http://etdeliverability.typepad.com/chips_deliverability_tips/2005/11/business_card_i.html over the weekend got me thinking about spam, permission and privacy. It especially made me consider the tendency for people to believe that if they have someone’s business card it means they have “implied” permission to communicate with them.
From a privacy perspective and Canadian PIPEDA privacy laws we know that anything contained on a business card, or in a business directory, is information that is open for use by others as it is published information. But taking this information and adding it to an email list will always constitute spam.
