Hi all

Is it true that BE broadband are one of the few people that dont share your internet details with 3rd party companies?
 
Hi,

I can garentee you that we don't give details out to a 3rd party unless requested to do so via a court order, I am guessing at this that you mean for targeted marketing etc, I know several ISP's that dont including some of the ones that the forums admins recommend to people.

Hope this helps.

Generally speaking you have to specifically agree to your details being passed on during registration for that to be allowed, it's a requirement to prevent spam; albeit a very poorly enforced one. This is usually done through some kind of checkbox method during signup. Most ISPs that I know of will not pass your details on to a third party, in fact most don't even offer it as an option because they have no such deals in place.

We'd certainly like to know about any ISP that is doing this without asking permission first.

That's to do with the digital economy act/bill, which is a more complicated legal problem and now somewhat mandatory. I assume from the OP that "3rd party companies" was instead referring only to hidden commercial agreements for marketing purposes?
 
Oh, Then there is a tick box in the member center :)
Ii isn't very granular though, its either opt in or opt out but doesn't note if it covers 3rd parties.
I want to be the first to know about news at BE (i.e. receive the BE newsletter, get behind the scenes on new products/services and exclusive offers and invitations available to BE members)
