Why do you need this info?

[Roger Dalton]

So the answer to your question has no relevance to you.

I am asking a perfectly legitimate question of the club and you are becoming aggressive towards me.

believe it or not there are still banned members lurking in the shadows under different names.

Who? might you ask,it is known,we won't get fooled again

Perhaps a simple request like "Who are you" would suffice

And to answer your question,I was a Mod in the 60's,loved "The Who"

And also,I am not a site owner,I own a Rover 75

What is aggressive in these posts?
If you are not happy I suggest you report the posts as per rules

I did actually think it strange that suddenly they needed this info especially more car info when I added enough to know what car I owned ie ZTT wasn't enough I had to add a +

Ok, I will ask the questions, what specifically does the company do with personal data? Secondly, can the company point me towards theire policy on data protection?

It is all very well saying the data is necessary to keep out undesirables, but what other use does it get put to? There are a lot of organisations out there that will pay for data and then use it for their own ends, I don't want my information being given away or sold on.

Thank you - I was just about post up the link to the text that Reebs posted. It is all explained in there - including a "get out" for those that don't want to divulge said information.
