Truworths direct marketing, never been a customer

I would like to be enlightened as to where Truworths obtains contact information for direct marketing?<br> <br> I have never been a Truworths customer, I do not consent to receiving any form of marketing as I have no wish to receive spam, nor to have my contact details freely spread.<br> <br> So, please respond as I wish to be removed from your marketing lists.<br> Additionally, I wish to be provided with proof as to where I provided my consent to receive any form of marketing.<br> <br> Why is the cost to opt-out be born by the receiver?<br> Is it not legislation that the cost of opting out should be borne by the marketer?<br> <br> I will follow up further once you have responded here, in the mean time I'm investigating alternative channels as direct marketing in general is way out of hand.

Hello antidirectmarket,

Thank you for your post and for the opportunity to clarify your concerns.

As part of our ongoing strategy to identify people who we feel would see value in a Truworths account offer, we have obtained your information from a reputable company, Principa, specializing in this regard.

We believe we conduct our advertising and direct marketing in compliance with applicable legislation, including without limitation the provisions of the National Credit Act (NCA) and the Consumer Protection Act (CPA).We also adhere to the code of conduct of the Direct Marketing Association (DMA).

The account offer that was sent to you was by no means intended to cause any frustration. We confirm that following your post we have declined the offer which was sent to you, and you should no longer receive any further communication from Truworths as your details were added to our exclusion list.

Further to this an email was sent to you with opt out options for Principa and the DMA.

We trust that we have sufficiently addressed your concerns. Should you have any other queries or suggestions, please contact us on *** or send an e-mail to ***.

Yours sincerely,

Lynn
