marketing

[Bibio]

why do companies think they can use your data once they have it as they see fit even though you told them that you want no marketing from them to ever come threw your letterbox?

does that not come under the misuse of data?

****es me off to mate. Problem is, so many companies have our info, it's impossible to figure out which tard is using it.

My post man doesnt throw my mail at me buddy lol

neither does bibs, he just aims it at the letterbox from a distance :rolleyes:

Fortunately for me I'm new to this address, so barely any crud gets sent. The stuff that does being aimed at the previous occupants. Reposted back to them at their expense :D

i'll have you know my postman is great. a nice happy chappy that takes care of your post, no bent envelopes or kicked about boxes.

well i know for certain how the company i told not to send me marketing got my details but obliviously they haven't listened so will be phoning them again tomorrow for an explanation as to why they have used my data without my permission for their gain. ding dong, round one.

Could be worse, at least they didn't realise they were doing it.

What does DNA Stand for?

National Dyslexics Association.
