observer Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 What data protection? Seems almost every commercial concern now has your full name and address on their computers, and data swopping is now a commercial enterprise in it's own right. We now are to get a phone directory service for every mobile in the country - where did they get the numbers from? Is privacy now an illusion?

Paul Kennedy Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Is privacy now an illusion? Yes...and to think we used to mock eastern block countries over the privacy of individuals. Worth noting that the DVLA routinely sell car registration details, and it's a nice little earner...personally I think it's a b disgrace.

They also hold auctions of registration numbers which also generate millions for Brown to squander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 On the basis that I refrain from giving out any info to questionaires from private companies - yes: then I thought of all the Gov agencies that are selling data nowadays, and realalised - no!
