Electoral Roll Question...
7 Answers
Not sure where to post this so am trying here. Having Googled someone's name it came up with several sites and then one where it said "name, address and telephone number". Clicking on that I saw the entry in the electoral roll and it has the name of the person and others in that household. By joining the site you can find out more.
I then Googled my name and found exactly the same and yet I've ticked the electoral roll for details not to be made public (or words to that effect...I thought). Going into the "gubbins" of the site I see you can download and print a form from them (CO1 Record Correction Form) and send it through the post or fax it whereby completing the details you want removed they will do it and not include further information.
My question is...would it be safe to send the completed form to them? It says on the heading that the The Data Protection Act lays down principles governing the use of data held on computer. Apparently they respect privacy and will remove your Electoral Roll details from their database upon receipt of this form.
Do you think I should do this as I DO want my details removed? Thanks for your comments in advance.
