Go Data Recensioni 8

Spam merchants.

Apparently being a solo podcaster means I am a business owner now! Because my data is being sold by this company. This means I get constant marketing emails for services not at all relevant to me as I do not own a business. The latest arrived this morning and it had a "your data was provided by" message at the bottom.

Go-Data.com are Total SPAMMERS
I second all the comments made on here, I also leave bad reviews on Trustpilot for the companies that are using this outfit of odious liars.
I don't normally "unsubscribe" as it merely confirms the existence of the spammed address - However I did unsubscribe in the vain hope the sh1t would stop. It didn't.

Going to leave a Trustpilot report on AXA now - but they just tell me to unsubscribe.

As others have said. Endless spam from this company. Block images, do not use unsubscribe and report to and / or blacklist instillerhq.com as it seems all their spam comes via them

Many reviewers have already covered this, but Go Live Data does not supply legitimate company data, regardless of what their low-rent website claims.

They make up email addresses speculating with Companies House data (which is itself against their terms of service) against known company domain names. They then sell this data on to unsuspecting third parties to send out 'B2B' emails. This means that they do not verify that the email addresses they've generated are valid business emails, and leave their customers to fall foul of both GDPR and PECR when they manage to generate private and non-compliant addresses.

They know that this is a problem with their data generation, they don't care and would rather apologise for constantly breaching the reasonable expectation of privacy of the - private - people caught up in this, than actually follow the law.

Tim, their DPO is a aburpt, rude, and abrasive man who appears to have very little grasp of the law. When challenged about selling my private data, he has done nothing to resolve the issue aside from state the 'case closed' whilst continuing to spout utter rubbish about how they are allowed to do what they are doing.

The ICO disagrees with this, though, and I look forward to hearing further updates from the (multiple) cases that have been opened against this rotten little spamming enterprise.

I've received ILLEGAL spam from this company.
It's illegal to send unsolicited marketing emails to individuals in the UK. This includes sole traders and partnerships.

An email marketing company should be fully aware of the law.

So it looks like either they don't care that mass sending emails to info at websitename.co.uk will go to individuals, against the law, or they're just incompetent.

Additional info following their response:

It's just not true that all their data is "UK Corporate data and used legitimately for B2B marketing"

I am an individual (working as a sole trader), not a company. It is illegal to send me unsolicited emails like this. I've received yet another one this morning. I've now received their spam to five different domains I own. None of the email addresses they've sent them to have ever been used before, they've never been published anywhere, and they've never belonged to a company. This is just pure spam. Go Live Data are spammers trying to appear to be a legitimate marketing company.

{guess-your-address}@{your-domain-name} then sell non bounces to 3rd parties.

Spammers.
