Re: How safe is our info?

No, I have neither of those things...nor do I intend to have.
I know that our names are on databases...otherwisw why would I have people ringing me and telling me that because of my age I am entitled to Government help with insulation/boiler etc.
Persoanlly, I think that much of this information is from the electoral roll which councils have been peddling to make a bit of extra dosh.
It is only the last couple of years I realised there was a box to tick to prevent them from selling my details.

This database is different.....although I am relatively fit and healthy for a person who is long in the tooth(I prefer middle aged - but I would have to live to be134 to be called that ) I do not want my medical details to be available to anyone other than those who need them to make me better if I should become ill.
