ST marketing abuse

[Piranha]

I unsubscribed from all of the ST marketing in 2021-Apr-21 (one can see the confirmation e-mail at the bottom of the screenshot), but since 2022-Nov-29 I am receiving it all again.

Checked the communication preferences in my profile at ST.com - my previous settings (before the 2021-Apr-21) have returned. What is ST's excuse this time?

Hi @Piranha,
Thanks for your feedback.

I have reached out regarding this matter, currently waiting for a response.
I will get back to you as soon as I have more information.

Best regards,
Laurids

This way of dealing with customers makes me at least think about switching manufacturers....

Hello @Piranha and @t.decker,

Just to provide further clarification and avoid any misunderstanding: as per @Piranha's request in Apr-21, ST had previously deleted any personal data from the system. However, when using a service such as signing up to a webinar or downloading software, a new registration form has to be completed which, before clicking on the "Call to Action" button, states that the provided data is used in accordance with ST's Privacy Statement. 

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Best,

Amelie
