Dear Colleagues
You may be interested in this extract of a letter from a Detective
Constable at Thames Valley Police, which is currently doing the rounds.
The DC is unhappy that so much personal information is available
on-line, possibly derived from the edited version of the electoral role.
I could not find myself when I carried out the search, quite possibly
because I am not on the edited version of the electoral role - but it
does provide a "wake up" call to those who have not opted out!
" It will pay to look yourself up and keep circulating this
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A website has been brought to my attention that may pose a risk. The
website is www.b4usearch.com and by clicking on 'People' and typing in
an individuals name and area it brings up their home address, phone
number, details of other members in the household, details of neighbours
in the same street and also directions to your home.
I would advise that if your details can be accessed via this website,
that you have them removed. To do this send an email to
[log in to unmask] and your request should be removed within 21 days if
they are not removed within this time you can complain to the
Information Commissioner's Office by sending an email to
[log in to unmask]"
Happy Friday to all...........
Regards
