(NOT the rep or candidate) and that the information from their communications is being used in the way they are told it's going to be used (which should also be clearly spelled out), then it's really not all that different from using the chatbot at the bank or the cable company or whatever. One can either choose to avail themself of that communication method, or not, in an informed sort of way.

Any variance from the above conditions though, then I have a big problem with the practice.
