Hi Janice,
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately I cannot give you legal advice as I am not a lawyer and I find GDPR to be really confusing. But there is no requirement – as far as I know – to have an email list. If you are replying to a contact request one on one – and not sending out the same email to a group of people then it is not a newsletter – it is a reply to someone who is requesting a reply from you, which is how most businesses do business. If you are in the UK or your clientele is based in the UK, then you probably want to talk with someone who knows more about the GDPR.

Thanks again for your kind words!

Would that comply with the new GDPR rules, etc.?? I know it’s a big question, hope you don’t mind. Your articles are very interesting, by the way!
Thanks!
