- The sender and the commercial nature of the message may not be obfuscated or concealed in the header and subject line of the email.

The companies, for which the address data was generated, were transparently and individually named with details of the sector; the user was easily and clearly able to be aware of the list of companies and
the number of companies and/or persons for which the address data was collected; is reduced to an extent that excludes forwarding user data to a disproportionately large number of third parties; and permits the user to easily grasp the significance and scope of their consent and to easily monitor the lawful handling of their data.
