How to stop receiving mail from a company?
An employee is invaded by mail (postal or electronic) from a company other than his own.
He no longer wishes to receive these letters.
He doesn’t know who to contact and calls a federal commissioner.
He learns that he must contact the company to clear his data. To do this, he can use the sample letter which is available on the FDPIC website.
The company in question will remove him from its list. Failing this, a civil procedure can be introduced.
