More details
Failing to tick a box to opt out of the open electoral roll means the personal information of your household is readily available to all who want it. It doesn’t just stop with the UK Government either; your mobile phone contract, broadband provider and even your energy provider then pass data to third parties. That’s right – ALL OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS READILY AVAILABLE FOR A FEE OF AROUND £3 to cyber criminals, terrorists, stalkers and identity thieves… Well, unless you opt out of course!
