    There are other pages on the site that may be showing your details and I think it depends when you signed up.

    How to find if your details are displayed

    If your name is "Smith" then Google:

    Smith site:lovethatwinenews.co.uk

    I found my details on two pages :eek:

    PS. I'm putting this on the main board to warn others.

    Some details have EVERYTHING - whole address and all the shizzle.... I wonder if thats because they have ordered in the past?

    I just joined this site after seeing it linked to on the comps board and there was my name and DOB at the top bold as brass! I changed it, rather obviously, lol. Thanks for posting this.

    Good work, dippychick and one-eye for alerting people to this. It could be a case of the webmasters being amateurish rather than anything else, but it seems to be a gross breach of net security.

    The girls who run the lovethatwine site are on twitter
    If anyone participates in tweeting perhaps they might want to send them an almighty squawk!!;)

    I've sent a message to the company that maintain the website, I should think they have people looking after stuff 24/7 so hopefully someone should pick up this big error

    This is shocking.

    Luckily for me they dont have my details but if they did I would be complaining to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

    Do you think that Martin Lewis ought to get a copy of this - he appears regularly on consumer slots and could publicise this problem in his next press release & public appearance?
