Quote: Marshy1 "Scondly how you think this can impact on Swinton is beyond me as surely if you are correct with your assumption then the perpetrator would need to be an employee of the club, wouldn't he/she?'"
Admittedly, I am going off the original post from Mario which states "has now been accused of using email addresses from the club for use in his new job at Swinton Lions." and we all know how wonderfully accurate Mario a.k.a. Neil Barker was as a journalist. If he doesn't work for your club then you have no worries, but if he does work for Swinton and has been using the mailing list without permission then the Information Commissioner's Office might be paying your club a visit.
As to the DVLA you might want to check if they have an opt-in or an opt-out policy for their communications database
