Lusha = „spam factory“
Lusha is the typical example of a „spam factory“. - To their customers, they are claiming that they are „fully GDPR compliant“, which is complete nonsense. - They are obtaining their data through some dark backwater online channels. There is a presumption that individuals have agreed to their data being used, which is untrue. - When individuals ask for their data to be removed, Lusha does not action these requests. Instead, they are directing people to „opt-out links“ of different sub-providers (which do not work). I continue to receive unsolicited sales calls from companies who state they have received my number from Lusha, despite the fact my (personal) telephone number is registered with the TPS. When this happens, I collect all details of the caller and then explain that they are in breach of local legislation by using the information obtained from Lusha. When based in the UK, my recommendation is to: - report every unsolicited sales call to 7726 - report every call & email received to the ICO.
