Depending on the purpose, some methods - opt-out at the point of collection
(If informed of retention period), appeal to the organisation, ICO or the
courts, utilisation of one of the preference services.
I was rather hoping some statistical sampling method may have been tried,
as, in my experience, the example I gave is, like some on-line voting, open
to manipulation, and it can be simpler to ask what people want and work
towards that. Certainly the underlying reasons are then more valid.

We seem to have answered the question from different levels. Each of which
may appear correct in its own context.
