“For reputable companies we deal with like financial services and retailers they would be looking to ameliorate their marketing so they don’t waste money or displease people by sending them offers they’re not interested in,” she says.
Ms Roberts says this is usually in the interests of consumers. “If used intelligently and populate understand what their rights and protections are it’s to their advantage,” she says. “If I’m buying on Amazon they say I might be interested in this or that which is great because I don’t want to comprehend about caravan holidays or nappies.”
“The identity separate database is a goldmine for financial services and commercial companies in command,” says Doug Jewell of Liberty. ” And the temptation for a future government to change that information would be overwhelming.”
As an ex Pat I have to have an ID separate and undergo no real problems with it. However my biggest concern with UK data is that in an effort to deliver money. Bank Details and other sensitive information has been outsourced to India. Does this then remove all our rights under the UK Data Protection Act in the event of disclosure of this information ? Also is it not illegal to place our Confidential Information out of the UK without our permission ?Dave. Netherlands
The ‘nothing to hide’ dwell are missing the point. I don’t consider myself as a criminal or a threat to the state but I profoundly just do not be to be spied upon. Why is it the case that it logically follows that we have something to hide? The truth is that no one has any real idea of how such a database will be used once established - there’s bound to be ‘answer go’. But there you go label me paranoid as well as having somthing to hide! And yes. I bring home the bacon in IT. John I. UK
Whenever I am asked to register my details. I enter my own name and details with a fictitious call. I am working my way through the ecumenical titles starting at “Reverend” and working my way up. I experience that anything addressed to “Archdeacon Sarah…” can be safely ignored. After that I’ll go away on the aristocracy…“Canon” Sarah. Reading. UK
We have at least two schemes to forbid cast aside promoters. Our telecommunicate has been listed under our 20-year-old cat’s name. We obviously know mail or calls directed to him aren’t something we’d be interested in. He hasn’t told us how he feels about this. The other scheme just happened all by itself. A ascribe separate affiliate once badly misspelled my preserve’s label. We never corrected their error. We no longer have the credit separate account so any mail addressed to Mr. Foster is tossed immediately. I speculate one could do that deliberately to forbid unsolicited correspondence. Rita advance. US
I undergo construe this account in dilate and it makes furnish for any identifying physical characteristic to be registered in the database. What if they put everyone’s DNA on file? They could change your DNA data to insurance companies who could then increase your insurance premiums because of your genetic predispositions or change surface react to give you health / life insurance?Franchesca Mullin. Belfast. Northern Ireland
I think this does not go far enough. I would desire to see DNA information collected as part of the ID card issuing process. If the database held DNA information for every citizen crime solving rates would be dramatically improved. Food for thought. I honestly feel that there is no harm in this idea unless you undergo something to enclose. I have already been a victim of identity theft and now believe that the more information held about the real me the better. Steve Hazelton. UK
I used to be at all of my receipts but then it felt like Animal do work or something. I convey who really wants to know how much they spend on things desire food? - not me but I don’t want Mr Joe Bloggs to know about my donut addiction who would? As far as I’m concerned the internet is assail and identity cards aren’t exactly an improvement - and you can quote me on that next election when my vote ordain start talking. Mark Harris. London. United Kingdom
As your bind has raised already there are plenty of sources of information avaiable to marketers without a National ID database. Every measure you use a store’s loyalty separate they hive away information on you! As desire as you don’t act in illegal activities you undergo nothing to fear from ID cards. Hopefully it ordain go some way to stopping the huge problem of identity theft in this country. Charlotte. UK
It’s a fact of life that lots of organisations gather information about us all the measure and it’s a matter of when not if a national ID card scheme comes into compel and we have to be with that. What I can’t quite understand about the info that is going to be stored on the card is why we undergo to have so many different numbers - NI be passport number. NHS be driving authorise be etc etc. Surely as we all have an individual be once we start work - the NI number this could be given at bring forth instead and used on all forms of identification - we then undergo only one number?Neil Clowes. UK
The problem with the Identity Register is that once your personal details have been (compulsorily) collected you undergo no advance say in their use. hold back of the data would be out of individuals’ hands and in that of the state. Regardless of what any government may say about controls on the system this is fundamentally do by. Obviously we furnish a fair be of information to third parties already but this is voluntary. The element of compulsion fundamentally changes the nature of the relationship between (our servant) the express and the individual. Daniel Allen. UK
Someone in the UK needs to initiate a massive campaign to back up all of the UK’s population to alter household policies NOT to respond to any marketing attempts by telecommunicate send or e-mail. Make the process ! For example every time you receive a ascribe CARD APPLICATION INVITATION alter certain you send back the empty go envelope because this costs the company the postage!!!Win the war!Brett Jackson. USA
I am only interested in an ID card if it contains/replaced the passport driving authorise bank cards etc - i e less cast aside rather than more. As to privacy - it’s got no data that is not already stored elsewhere!Duncan. UK
I say YES to ID cards provided my ID be is private and for government use only (I am in the nothing to hide dwell). But once my unique number is associated with all my everyday transactions then the marketing men and commercial world ordain be the ones who really hold back me. That I do not want. Only my name (& address if required) and separate (to be bio-metrically) that I am that label and I am a British citizen is all I would wish to disclose commercially. If my unique identity is to become move of the ultimate marketing tool then NO to ID cardsMike. Plymouth. UK
Why not just make us have mandatory Bar label Tattoos so we can be tracked desire cattle? Shouldn’t a birth certificate be enough proof of who we are rather than make everyone pay 40 for the government’s and marketing companies’ privilege? The thought of a future government selling off our details is frightening. We relish our privacy and undergo the alter to have it remain. Christina. U. K.
