[datameet] Voters List and Privacy Issues

2014-10-07 Thread Emkay
Hello,
The voters list contains household data that provides name, gender, age and 
relationship information for all members of the household, as well as the 
address.
This data is available without logging in and without agreeing to 
limitations on use.
Isn't this against Privacy Rules 2011/ IT Act 2008, at least in principle?

I have come across companies using this data for targeted marketing. It 
could be put to even worse use.

Any insights? 
Thanks.
