I kind of "like" the writing 

"By clicking a link in this newsletter, you agree to the
techproductupdate.com privacy policy" 

and then go to read their privacy policy 

"We collect personally identifiable information when you provide it to
us ..."

"In General, we may collect and store any personally identifiable
information you provide to us. Personally identifiable information is
data that identifies you, or that can be combined with other information
to identify or contact you, and includes (but is not limited to) your
name, business or personal physical or email address, and telephone
number."

and by clicking that link - including a unsubscribe link - you allow
them to collect indentifiable information. Which they then can sell on.
It doesn't say the unsubscribe link is excempt from harvesting
information.

Maybe (hopefully) they're not that evil.
