I got an href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/email">email from the HR href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/department">department of a company about a href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/job">job href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/opportunity">opportunity. The href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/email">email is addressed directly to me, so I was wondering if it is okay to ask them where they got my href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/email">email address, or would it be considered rude?

It is perfectly fine to ask something like this. In some countries a company is even legally required to answer this question. It can even be illegal to send this type of unsolicited email.

For example, in Germany where I live, companies are required to give you this information. We have very strict regulations regarding when an email is unsolicited and thus not exactly legal to send.
