That's the old way.

The new way is privacy policies and express permission-based 
marketing.  And if a client finds that the supplier is abusing the trust 
relationship, or not providing an opt-in arrangement, or ignoring opt-out 
requests, the client has every right to invoke the PC, or indeed to take 
their business to a supplier that doesn't treat their customers' privacy 
with contempt.
