Making wild statements such as your thread title only serves to confuse people about the purpose of the regulations.
This is likely just an error in the mail merge.
While OP could likely use the GDPR to peruse her data and figure out what is wrong, a simpler alternative is to use the systems which have existed for a long, long, long time and notify BA that it is erroneously addressing OP.
Further demonstration that the entire issue of titles and honorifics in a digital age is simply one more useless data field.
