Papa's Tomato Challenge - Warning re data privacy

Options
Hiya,

Just thinking that a bunch of people like me will have signed up for a certain Pasta Sauce Papa's D*lmio Big Tomato Challenge to play a game to grow a tomato, register to apply for some free tomato seeds, and enter a prize draw.

My partner has been having problems with his password - having forgotten it. So he's tried to log on a few times, including going to request a new password.

A couple of times when he has tried to sign in, the registration screen has shown him OTHER PEOPLE'S DETAILS - e.g. name, email, address, etc.

We are both presuming that our data is not safe on that website.

Just to warn others. :eek:
