    Weird shit can happen when one applies right to be forgotten. For some purposes data must be kept nevertheless (for tax obligations for example) while for marketing not (and even then some might argue legitimate interest and not fully deleted all instances of your data). And then the week after some stupid asshole reconcile invoice data with mailing lists and here you are.

      I’m concerned that they had some AI comb their database and it recovered OP’s email address, couldn’t find a matching name, but re-added it to the mailing list none-the-less.

        That certainly happens without any ai involvement… reconciliation processes are a very established thing…
