+x+xHaving no luck getting my name unlinked to these vigilante web sites with Google or the ICO i thought I would try a different angle so have just sent this to the ICO Be interesting to see what their response is if they bother to reply LOL Hello, I am contacting you to ask if you are aware of two vigilante websites https://tedteamsite.wordpress.com/& https://uk-database.org/Under the UK Sexual Offences Act 2003 the general public do not have access to the Sexual Offenders Register. This is restricted the police and the courts although a request can be made under the Child Sex Offender Disclosure Scheme but again this is managed by the police. The two websites above are in fact searchable databases with photos and addresses of people convicted of sexual offences so are in all but name a public sex offenders register but neither comply to any data protection or GDPR rules. Surly these two websites are breaking the law and should be shutdown. Please can you let me have the ICO view on these two websites. Regards Reply from ICO is pretty dismissive so I wont be holding my breath! Thank you for your email of 17 March 2023 We will look into this, if we decide to take action then it will be on our website. I had similar interaction with ICO about the lack of GDPR, Privacy Rights, illegal centralised Register/database. The guy didn't help me personally but took all my info "as part of their wider work (on UK Database)". Some time later it was closed down, only to spring back up as ".org" and not ".net A bit like hammering the head of a mole who goes back down and re-appears continously. But, seriously, you are right in all that you say.
