[*] A record of those who have unsubscribed is referred to as suppression data. If a supporter clearly indicates that they no longer wish to be contacted, it is extremely important that their wishes are honoured. This is best done by keeping a suppression data record. This should contain just enough data to make sure that the party is not included in future communications – e.g. name, address, email address, and date of unsubscribe.
