pages and pages of peoples names and postcodes

AND even their usernames :eek:

UPDATE:

We may have valid complaints with the ICO as it seems they are a Data Controller who have breached our data protection rights.

From their own T & Cs

OMG so glad I spotted this post, have changed all my details now and will be sending them a strongly worded email about giving away personal information, I'm completely shocked!

I will update with any news I hear back!

I'm totoally speechless, everyone's details are there, addresses, dob, mob numbers, postcodes, totally open to identity fraud, I've sent them a very strong worded email, and I for one will not be keeping my registration with that site. ty to DippyChick for noticing this. I'll post up reply (if I get one from them)

I am not a member but have e-mailed them in the hope that enough contacts will set off alarm bells & this is sorted ASAP - if anyone wants to contact but not give their own e-mail details (for obvious reason) use [EMAIL="nottelling@yahoo.co.uk"]nottelling@yahoo.co.uk[/EMAIL]
