Over the past few days, you may have received various e-mails from business entities claiming that you indicated that you would like to receive information from such business, OR that you are a previous customer and as such could receive the electronic marketing. You would have further been informed that should you wish not to receive such e-mails, you can “unsubscribe” or use the “opt-out” function.
This begs the question of whether the business entity can obtain your consent “by default” should you fail to “unsubscribe” or “opt-out”.
