  • "If they ask for your email address at the checkout, it's a data grab. Scan the printed receipt yourself"
    I've been asked by several retailers in recent years if I'm OK to accept an email receipt - Argos for example.
    Is that an illegal "data grab" ?

    It won't be illegal because they have asked and you have agreed to give them your email.  It's often presented as a green thing to save on paper, but in reality it's a way of getting your email address for their mailing list.

  • I recognise that aspect - but find it easy enough to unsubscribe if need be.

    Could the case not have been damaged on the carousel or the luggage ramp from the airplane .

    Indeed - and if the item is past its manufacturer's warranty life span I reckon there is no case (groan :( ) for compensation.
