Rejected petition STOP PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES SELLING OUR PERSONAL DATA

We the people need you to stop public and private companies selling our personal data without our permission. Prosecute those who do and compensate taxpayers directly affected.
The Government should amend the law which allows the use of our data as a pre requisite for being provided services.

More details

Many people feel that companies make enough money from us already purchasing products from them, using our income in banking to invest, or tying us into long term contracts with phone companies ensuring future income. Companies should honour us when they say the will not use our data for any other purposes than managing our account with them. The "information commissioning" officer, Christopher Graham needs to be held accountable for the issues above as does his department.
