We are looking into this issue, which appears isolated just to this one account.

Well I'm definitely satisfied by that explanation.

It appeared to be that account... on further investigation it was a handful of older ones

This thread is unbelievable, are the contributors to this forum really so deluded that they think the important thing about this major balls up (and it is a massive one) is the language with which the OP alerted PH?

I'm worried about all the water flying around the office, and whether Craig the duck is being properly cared for.

I think it's safe to assume that if they cannot look after personal data they will be neglecting Craig's duck. Or probably ducks - it is likely that Craig has multiple ducks attributed to him, some of which are not his real ducks.

The site slowly turning Chinese makes me even more concerned for the ducks:



Crispy aromatic anyone?

Have read the thread with interest. PH team please respond,
Has there been a breach of the DPA ?
If so as it is implied by PH earlier replies, have PH self notified the Data Protection commissioner ?
If not those affected may do so, it is fee.
Have PH notified all users at risk of the potential breach and explained the remedial steps taken together with a direct contact route through which complaints relating to the breach may be channelled .

A statement on the homepage reassuring users would normally be appropriate.

You're quite correct. It's a real April 1st couple of posts. I wonder if the "real" Haymarket have noticed his posts yet, though probably not, as they don't visit this area of the forum very often.

Data Controller? Two posts? My arse!

It is a valid email address. Google it... why would it not be serious?

Because no one calls themselves a 'data controller' these days. They're all Data Scientists or Chief Data Officers

Erm. No they don't.
