Discover Org

You may have received requests from privacy @discoverorg.biz claiming to be a notice of data processing.

The message does explain that they are gathering business contact information for people working in certain corporations.  That seems honest, but not entirely honest as the email has been sent out to a vast number of email addresses gathered by spammers.

The radio station received dozens of these emails – to all sorts of fake email addresses long ago made up by spammers and sold on to idiots who don’t know any better.

Discover Org do give you the option of editing your data that they have and explains about opt-out rights, so it does comply with the law and they say they only ask for business information – name, company, business telephone number, business email address, job title and job function, rather than the scammer and spammer staples of private email address, home address, home phone number etc.

If you’re going to buy lists of contact details, then there are far worse choices to avoid than Discover Org but maybe best not to answer their emails unless you want to receive mountains of unasked for marketing messages.
