Data Protection breach?

[Teddygirlonce]

Just opened a delivery from Uniqlo to find that they've included someone else's invoice (with name and address details) along with mine.

AIBU to think I should report this(and if so to whom?), or should I just tear it up and forget about it?

report it to 101. get it logged in case they do it again

I'd phone the Daily Mail.

Tear it up and forget about it.
It's not like you've been sent their medical details, and details of their offshore bank accounts.
I can find loads of names and addresses in the phonebook.

(Unless Uniqlo is some hypersensitive organisation).

This is already my favourite thread.

Shit, you now know someone's name and address? Like a phonebook does.

You you understand what data protection is?

Call the information commissioner straight away. I hear they’re open on Christmas Eve for such emergencies!!

Or, if you want a serious answer...

It’s personal data, but it’s not sensitive personal data. No one will care. Chill.

When I received my new mortgage paperwork recently it included a stray page with details of someone else's house purchase - eg names, address, value of their home, bank details etc etc.
I just shredded it.

ICO would be your contact (Information Commissioners Office) ico.org.uk/concerns/ This would imo count as a breach, and does suggest they've dropped a ball, although I can't imagine the info is hugely private or confidential (address details at most I'm guessing OP)
Personally, on Christmas eve, I wouldn't bother, but otoh I am googling ICO details for a random on mn!

It is personal data so does breach DP rules (soon to be GDPR), but who cares? Tear it up

What did they order ? 👀

This is a joke ?? Please tell me you're pulling our legs 🙈🙈

It is technically a data breach, but I would just bin it and forget about it. They'll have had loads of orders over Christmas - it's easy for a stray bit of paper to get stuck to another and end up in the wrong package.

I'd be kind and post it to the receipient, just case they need it.

What about a nice public flogging?

Indeed.

There should be systems in place to ensure details don't go to the wrong address - but with lots of paper being involved, you can see how mistakes happen.

It's not a serious breach of data protection.

I can think of far worse. -- like when the NHS sent details of my private in depth psychological report to my old address because they hadn't updated all their address records when told.

Wow...april 1st if op is serious surely

I had that from something I ordered online. I let them know because it is technically a data breach, but more because they might need to check the if other person''s order was otherwise sent out correctly. And having informed them they made a mistake, I left them to it as I had received the things I was expecting to.
