Since I have not saved the email address locally, the only explanation for this is that Etihad allegedly sold my address including other data like my name.
I filed a privacy data request through my business connect account, but haven't heard from them yet.
Your complaint is like somebody sending their credit card details to a hotel by e-mail and then complaining that it must be the hotel that made them public.
The problem with e-mails is that after they leave your computer they go through a variety of third party servers before they get to their destination. All of these servers have access to your details.
You really should check out the facts before making unsubstantiated allegations. And as for stating that your details have been sold, what evidence do you have of that?
