My local authority is sick of people like b4usearch and 192.com!
Now, they absolutely do not give the opted out portion of the register to
anyone, and my b4usearch entry confirms that my details are old. My 21 year
old son is not on the site, for example. We are family of opt-outers.
But they have mentioned it is complex to get removed.

I am about to opt out! Possibly

I have opted out and have been opted out for years. I now am about to
contact my local authority to find out why I am listed in the roll that this
site searches

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
Martin Hoskins
