Dear All,
I have returned home this evening to find a letter from BT.
The letter refers to the fact that I use CPS with Talktalk to carry my voice
calls (however, it does not specify my SP).
The issue I have with this, although trivial is that the letter is sent in
an A4 envelope with a window revealing the entire content, in fact, I read
it without even opening it.
Admittedly, the issue is minor (i.e. who cares if I use CPS or not).
However, I expect written communications (regardless of intention) to be
private and certainly when the data used to issue the letter is taken from a
database which is supposed to be secure.
So, the fact that BT reveal information about my service in this manner - is
it a breach of the DPA? Is it worth reporting to BT?
Carl
