ICO may bother check if the (UK) retailer has mandatory Data Protection registration.
If no DP registration, ICO should initiate movement towards £4000 fine plus whatever reprimand for proven data mismanagement,
but considering the likes of well-known Eufy camera / batteryproduct UK shifter Anker persistently chooses not to bother with DP reg and has not yet been slapped by ICO it is unlikely anything will come of it.
Check if your retailer has DP reg here: ico.org.uk/ESD…rch
and maybe post back with indication of reg or not.
Contact ICO via ico.org.uk/mak…nt/

You can just let the retailer know and they will likely just say sorry and move on with their day. It was an error that has already happened and unfortunately can’t be reversed. If it was Amazon (however they don’t send invoices) you may be able to complain and get £5 promo credit if you kicked up enough fuss. Most companies will just apologise, but I’m not sure what else you would expect to be honest."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51226239","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gollywood"},"datePublished":"2023-10-19T17:34:51.000Z","text":"I had a courtesy car recently which had all the personal details of the previous occupant of the vehicle.
