I don’t think what they are doing is GDPR compliant when it comes to gift subscriptions. Received a 12 week gift subscription which I activated. Later found out the person gifting me the subscription was charged on automatic renewal. I wanted to cancel but could not as I was not the payee. When the payee contacted the economist they said they cannot cancel the subscription as they are not the account holder of the subscription. This is unlawful. I am surprised they are still allowed to operate this scam. Reported to data commissioner.
