Can you tell me more about how they violate the GDPR or quote the relevant parts of the regulation? I've got an inbox full of otherwise legitimate emails but every single link is a disgusting stalking link thanks to their ~spamming~ marketing platform (also the links are always HTTP even if the original link was HTTPS, so they also decrease security) so I'd love to put an end to that.



My guess is it's because you're collecting PII on someone (location data and email address) without their consent. And it doesn't sound like there are procedures for an EU resident to request that all such data be scrubbed, which I believe is also required.
