Mar 12 at 7:08 comment added PMF @Karl Maybe, but not necessarily. See the other answers and the comments there. Since we do not know what the potential client would do with the e-mails, we can't answer that for sure.

Mar 11 at 15:51 comment added Brian "Without a data privacy document provided by the client" - OP mentioned in a comment that he works via Upwork. So, many clients probably included Upwork's default NDA in their work contract, discussed here. Note that Upwork is not a party to this agreement and won't enforce it.

Mar 11 at 11:40 comment added PMF @nvoigt I don't think there's a criminal law that would be relevant here, but it would certainly be against the principle of good faith ("Treu und Glauben" in German) and therefore subject to a civil damages claim.
Mar 11 at 11:16 comment added nvoigt That reads like a personal comment. Although I agree with your opinion, is there a law your opinion is based on?
