My Name in publications without permission
Discussion
Hi
This may seem small and trivial to most, I imagine it is:
The company I work for distribute thousands of catalogues and printed materials to customers.
A colleague of mine today has pointed out our most recent mailing has my full name and email address on it, claiming I am responsible for a certain area of the business.
No one has run it past me, or even told me its happening. I go out of my way to ensure my full name is not made public. Whether on facebook or email or whatever it is. To be honest, I don't want people to find me.
Is there a law on this in anyway? I want to request its removal, however, if I have no legal leg to stand then I guess its a non starter. There is no mention of me giving permission to publish such details in my contract.
Any advice is appreciated.

Are you responsible for the business area that your employer claims you are?
That's the funny part. The business isn't even set up to offer the service they claim. So in short, no!Although, I am adaptable, and always happy to accept new responsibilities as management see fit ;-)
Its more that my name is out there for all to see, and they didn't even ask!

You dug up this old thread to have a pop at someone on the internet. Well done sir.I'd forgotten all about this thread, but thanks to all who replied. Nothing came of it in the end, my company have now removed the details I took issue with, I guess they saw the error of their ways.

Not really Jazzy...Sorry to offend ...Was tongue-in-cheek...I'd forgotten all about this thread, but thanks to all who replied. Nothing came of it in the end, my company have now removed the details I took issue with, I guess they saw the error of their ways.
I'm new on here and just familiarising myself and going through the Topics and see something that rings a bell with me in some way, then just make a comment...
Didn't realise it was an old post...
Aren't we allowed to comment on old posts ??
I am slightly bemused. It has never even occurred to me that a company may be at fault for publicising the contact details of an employee who should be contacted about a specific part of the business. I assume that the email address is a work email address rather than a personal one?
Equally most companies these days like to use the Christian and Surname of their staff to make them appear more approachable. The solution would appear to be to use a different name for work if you don't want your name out there, although it must be remarkably unique if people are going to find you from it.
