Slovenia Email Lead

Slovenia Email Database structured collection of B2B email contacts, segmented by specific sectors within Slovenia’s economy. As an EU member state with a strong export focus and growing innovation in areas like automotive, pharmaceuticals, ICT, and green technologies, such databases can be valuable for B2B engagement. However, their creation and use are strictly governed by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Slovenia’s supplementary Personal Data Protection Act (ZVOP-2), enforced by the Information Commissioner (Informacijski pooblaščenec).

Building and Managing Databases under GDPR:

The cornerstone of compiling a compliant email database in Slovenia is adherence to GDPR principles. This means:

• Lawful Basis for Processing: For direct marketing emails to individuals (even using their business email addresses), explicit, freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) is the most robust lawful basis. While “legitimate interest” (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) can be considered for B2B marketing, it requires a thorough Legitimate Interest Assessment (LIA) to demonstrate that the data controller’s interests do not override the data subject’s rights. An easy opt-out mechanism is always mandatory.  
   

   
• Transparency: Individuals must be clearly informed about how their data will be collected, used (the purposes), the lawful basis, their rights, and retention periods.
• Data Minimization: Only personal data necessary for the specified purpose should be collected and stored. ¹
