I’ll be handing in my opt out form to my doctor this week.
Though it’ll remain opt out, once March rolls around and this is launched it’ll be too late to keep your data out of the hands of any company that wants it. Once it’s sold on the first time there’ll be no “sorry, they’ve opted out, can we have it back please?” going on. They may not get your future information, but that’ll hardly matter when they can sift through your history forever after.
The most fiendish part of it all is the only warning most people have that this is even coming is a single leaflet pushed through the letterbox that looks like it was purposefully designed to blend in with junk mail and get overlooked. There are going to be so many people caught out by this simply because they don’t know any better.
