The U.K. Information Commissioner's Office has fined a subsidiary of BT Group PLC (BT.A.LN) 77,000 pounds ($101,645) for sending nearly 5 million emails to customers without their consent.
The emails, sent between December 2015 and November 2016 to promote charity initiatives, constitute direct marketing and not service messages, the commission said Wednesday. Since recipients didn't give the necessary consent, the emails breached the U.K.'s privacy and electronic-communications regulations, even though the company didn't deliberately break the rules, the ICO said.
BT said it is disappointed by the decision and has tightened its data-management procedures since the complaint was first raised in February 2017.
"This relates to emails concerning charitable fundraising that were sent to some of our customers in 2015/16. There was no financial benefit to BT, and minimal impact on customers--in fact almost 5 million emails elicited just one complaint," a BT spokesperson said.
