Hi,
What if the Telegraph has already passed on the details, as they have
taken the liberty to do so, by the time they are asked to remove a person
from their database. Is not the case that those other companies now become
the data controllers ... hence a request at the Telegraph for removal does
not cover the other companies.
Hence they beat us to submission.
