I sent an enquiry form to a company from my PC a few months ago. When they contacted me their product was too pricey so I decided to go elsewhere and I politely asked them to delete my details. Last Friday I received two calls from them obviously they didn't do as I asked and I again politely reminded them. I came home this afternoon to a email from them and I sent a reply asking to be taken from their database. They are a small business with a shop nearby not a multinational. This tells me they have no intention of removing my details and will continue to call or mail me. In a previous post I was advised on using ccleaner or dban to remove cookies etc. I will be doing so but will it remove my details on their base?.
Britain is great but Manchester is greater
