Watchdog says it is struck by how many people get unwanted propositions from staff who have their data.

I’m glad to see more action is being taken on this.

Over a decade ago, I worked in a shop that involved handling phone numbers, and at the time there were constant stories of co-workers starting relationships by initiating a conversation as a “customer satisfaction follow up” to their experience that day.
Keeping those people in line was a tale of someone getting decked by a customer’s father after doing this.
