Aye its legit. The EU has passed a major improvement in data protection legislation and it affects any company that trades into the EU as well as those domiciled in the EU.

This link is actually quite a neat summary of the main issues: https://www.eugdpr.org/

So Slitherine need to ensure that everyone on their mailing list has given consent to remaining on it

I received it too. Can't complain. They send few emails so fair enough. Appreciate the non spamming: they certainly understood it may backfire. The intelligent, elegant thing to do.
