        "If the operator intends to link this profile to a name and
        postal address, or an e-mail address, this is personal
        information covered by the Data Protection Act 1998 (the Act)."

Even though only the [third party] email provider is "likely" to have
the information that identifies a person from the email address in many
cases.

(nb. I still agree that the email address is personal data).
