Like many others I'm sure I have today received a letter from Hounslow telling me I am now automatically re-registered on the electoral role. Good idea, saves wasted letters. Bad news the council has by default opted me in to the open register ignoring the fact that I have always actively opted out. To be removed we must email or write, by which time I am sure the lists will have been sold to all the companies which mine such info and will I'm sure be well aware of this opportunity. I thought by law we had to be opted out of such lists by default, at least commercial companies are bound by this. This is a commercial move and should be bound by the same law. |
