Unethical Means of Collecting Information about Consumers
Fischerová, Kristýna ; Pešek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Trepešová, Jana (referee)
This thesis focuses on defining some unethical practices used in marketing. Direct marketing based on property and creation of databases including information about consumers, is one of the issues, which evoke speculations about ethical standards. These speculations are mainly about the creation of databases, their data sources and practices, among others telemarketing. Unsolicited commercial communications and spam as the phenomenons of modern society are also considered unethical. It is necessary to distinguish the above mentioned from authorised business communication and also define the terms of opt-in and opt-out mode. Transferring the personal data between companies is often used in practice, profiting from carelessness or ignorance of consumers. This thesis also describes a basic overview of the legal framework.
