WTF! I just looked myself up and there are all kinds of incorrect information about me. For instance, Picture: Not me nor have I ever seen that person before.
Relationship: In a relationship? With what my car?
Activities and Interests: Likes knitting, interior design... Really, I call BULLSH*@ on that, there are also some other interests that are completely wrong.

The only details they got right were that I like cars and ride a motorcycle.
 
No under the data act I think it is if you have data about someone it has to adbide(SP) with thes principles.1. Processed fairly and lawfully. 2. Obtained for specified and lawful purposes. 3. Adequate, relevant and not excessive. 4. Accurate and up to date. 5. Not kept any longer than necessary. 6. Processed in accordance with the “data subject’s” (the individual’s) rights. 7. Securely kept. 8. Not transferred to any other country without adequate protection in situ. So this would be illegal.

Sounds like that's for private info only, or sites like this wouldn't exist. This site only uses public info which isn't covered by the data act.
 
Wow quite scary. I had to warn someone who has tried to keep their info secret for a while. That site posted twice as much as the other one.
 
No it covers all information about people I think not too sure, we will probably find out if famine reads this thread.....
