Don't believe this has been covered else where:
Although there appears to be no evidence of BDO trying to contact us directly as yet, unlike RR, in view of GDPR will we need to "register" with them or give them permission to email us?

I was thinking this too , the reaction to GDPR from my various p2p accounts is quite mixed. It would be sad if we did not hear on anything about Collateral from BDO because we had not registered to receive it. I am sure that that would never happen although facts and deadlines are thin on the ground in my humble view.

Coming from the ICO website : "What are the lawful bases for processing? The lawful bases for processing are set out in Article 6 of the GDPR. At least one of these must apply whenever you process personal data: (a) Consent: the individual has given clear consent for you to process their personal data for a specific purpose. (b) Contract: the processing is necessary for a contract you have with the individual, or because they have asked you to take specific steps before entering into a contract. (c) Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for you to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations). (d) Vital interests: the processing is necessary to protect someone’s life. (e) Public task: the processing is necessary for you to perform a task in the public interest or for your official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law. (f) Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for your legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests. (This cannot apply if you are a public authority processing data to perform your official tasks.) " I think we would fall under (b) or (f) category. So no need for BDO to collect consent from us.

Thanks Kyrios I guess that makes sense - if anything does.

I agree with @kyrios - an awful lot of the GDPR messages we are all getting are completely unnecessary (because the organisations already have a good reason to mail us, or already have permission) or possibly illegal (because they didn't have good permission in the first place).
Its a shame because GDPR, IMHO, is a good step forward in privacy protection but is being given a bad rep by organisations who are too lazy to work out what it really means.
