DVLA selling personal details.

Good evening. I hope everyone is well. I was wondering how I could stop the DVLA from selling my personal details to any old Mickey Mouse Private Parking Enforcement firms? I am not happy that these companies can just buy my information from the DVLA. Is this legal?
For Debt Collection, local authorities and Emergency Services I can understand it and have no issue with it. But these barely legal unregulated firms? I have an issue with that.
Is there some way I could opt out of this? Inform the DVLA that I do not wish this? The DVLA website seems to be somewhat vague on this matter.

Do not give in to Private Parking firms. Fight them all the way!

You would be vague if everyone did this and you lost £millions
The DVLA are fully aware they work with scammers. Just another failure of the May government0 -
Done-to-death topic over many years. Eager new gums bumped, cascading blood everywhere. No progress!Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

Become a Freeman of The Land and make up the rules as you go along. Shout a lot about common law, and wet ink signatures.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, just shout louder and more indignantly, but also record any confrontations on a shaky camera phone in portrait format.
You could then upload these to your own Youtube channel to make friends with fellow wibbleheads and shout at each other in your own echo chamber of pseudo-legal nonsense.
Or sell your car and get the bus or taxi if you don't want the DVLA to pass on your details.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -

If you know the reg number of a car.
V888 asks why you need the info and they can refuse.
That's suppose to stop rogue trader types but .... doubt the DVLA could care less, they provide info to scammers at the best of times0
