A website has been brought to my attention that may pose a risk. The website is www.b4usearch.com and by clicking on 'People' and typing in an individuals name and area it brings up their home address, phone number, details of other members in the household, details of neighbours in the same street and also directions to your home.

I would advise that if your details can be accessed via this website, that you have them removed. To do this send an email to privacy@b4u.co.uk and your request should be removed within 21 days if they are not removed within this time you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office by sending an email tocompliance@ico.gsi.gov.uk

Whilst much of the information available from this site is available in the public domain from electoral roll searches (for a fee), you may decide that in this case it's worth having yourself removed as this info is available for free.

Will leave this stickied for a while.

The site still holds my details so I've sent the other message. Will have to wait to see what happens.
