What information is shown to an Octopus referrer?

hoc

Section 7.4 of terms: https://octopus.energy/policies/terms-and-conditions/

"If you sign up through a Personalised Link, we will tell the person whose Personalised Link you use that you have done so."

Tell them what exactly? Only that their referral code has been used? Or including personal information about the person who has used it.

I have done a few links and the only information I have is the new customers first name and a rough date of the switch

Almost the same experience here, although at the bottom of my dashboard it shows the person's full name along with the date of switch/referral.

Agreed,  once the referral is completed first and second name plus date paid

That would be a breach of GDPR

Octopus assume you share referrals to friends or family

It would be normal to think you know their name.

Your code is designed for you to share with people you know

Who cares?

If you do then simply don't share it and not get £50

I guess if you're called Tarquin Willowby-Tempest you might be more concerned than if your name was David Jones but as said above, if it worries you, don't share with strangers.
