> If a company starts collecting IP addresses for DDoS protection purposes, and then figures out that the data could also be used for marketing ...

Charitably, I think your sentence is just unclear. It seems much more reasonable that someone just thinking or realizing "that the data could also be used for marketing" isn't legally prohibited. Right?

Someone would actually need to use the data, in some concrete specific way, for something illegal to have taken place.

Right?



Yes
