answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2017 answer text <p>The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR) regulates the sending of electronic marketing messages (by phone, fax, email or text), as well as the provision of electronic communication services to the public. The Information Commissioner's Office independently regulate PECR and have been clear that organisations must not send marketing emails to individuals without explicit consent.
