Hey Michelle, thanks for starting this thread! Definitely interested to see everyones feedback and input. I'm no Legal expert, so these are just my opinions. My gut tells me that the event vendor would have verbiage about opting-in and/or opting-out in to receive emails from vendors. However, I wouldn't necessarily rely on that. I may send an opt-in email after the event list is imported + processed appropriately to gain consent. Some of the countries in the EU (looking at you, Germany) already require double opt-in for email consent, so it may be worth following these guidelines for most EU countries. The second component of GDPR is cookie consent, which is something that I think is very much a gray area right now as it relates to event list imports. We're still figuring this out with our Legal team. Hope that helps!
