I would be surprised if it did violate GDPR. Which bit of your personal information was acquired, traded, or otherwise disclosed improperly?

Wondering if you’d say the same way if google / facebook sent out similar message as they too have your email.

The trouble with GDPR is that it's legalese, but there's good reason to believe that this email breaches UK, and likely EU law, and a case could be made in court, probably article 21: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-21-gdpr/

In the UK: https://ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/be-data-aware/political...

"You have an absolute right under the Data Protection Act to object to marketing from any organisation and the processing of your information for direct purposes. However, a candidate, political party or referendum campaigner does have a right to send a Freepost mailing, as mentioned above."

And under GDPR it's all about consent: https://www.superoffice.com/blog/gdpr-marketing/

"Data permission is about how you manage email opt-ins –people who request to receive promotional material from you. You can’t assume that they want to be contacted. In the future, they need to express consent in a ‘freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous’ way, which is reinforced by a ‘clear affirmative action’."

Specifically, nothing in Expensify's EULA or settings allows me to opt out of the CEO's political views.
