My ISP has asked everyone to agree to a new terms and conditions statement,
that seems to permit them to do anything they like with my private
information. Here are the clauses that concern me:
[quote]
14.2 Company may collect, store, transfer and/or disclose to third parties,
for any purpose (including where required by a credit reference provider or
any Law), any information or data (whether confidential or not) relating to
Customer's registration to the Service, use of the Service or this
Agreement including data.
14.3 Upon written request by Customer, Company must notify Customer of any
data or information collected, stored, transferred and/or disclosed by it to
a third party.

If I'm reading this right, they can disclose any details in the registration
data they have (name address, phone numbers, my age, occupation, credit card
details, bank account details, computer type) to anyone they like. I have
no right to refuse, and they don't have to disclose to me they've done it
unless I ask in writing.
I think this is outrageous but they say it's "quite normal" amongst ISPs.
Is it? Have any of you guys been asked to agree to this kind of blank
cheque?
Cheers,
