HU founded 10 years ago and in 2020 acquired by Corrona (now Corevitas), and estimated to be worth in excess of six million dollars.
When I see my dental practitioner I have to fill in an online form with medical data. The practice uses a third party company who make it clear in T&C that in the event of takeover, the data becomes the property of the purchaser. Is client data a tradable commodity?
Not that I’m bothered. But I know a man who is.
Man, do I love HU! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Very interesting point, and question. Had not thought about this dimension to it. Who owns our data?
Client data shared from my dentist or here wouldn't worry me!
I would be more interested to know if any data about me is secure. Many years ago we were ex-directory and the worst that could happen was a call from a stranger who had dialled the wrong number. How times have changed. Last night I had a prerecorded call on my mobile saying my NHS number had been breached and to press a key to connect to an officer. Obviously I did nothing, but I worry about the vulnerable who would follow this through and give personal details.
How did these people get my number? We get similar calls with our landline, and my husband received an email blackmailing him for visiting certain sites (he hadn't). Fortunately he is tech savvy and was able to trace when his security had been breached and take action. And the number of emails that I get that go straight into my junk folder. I am so curious.
I suppose if hackers can get into the Pentagon, they can get my phone number if they want to. Perhaps they sell client data after breaching large organisations.
You can use the free telephone preference service to block unsolicited calls from UK numbers - Google telephone preference service to find it. It doesn't work with overseas call centres that spoof UK numbers so I deal with this by not answering a call from a number I don't recognise - I ring back instead in case it's a genuine call (which almost always it's not).
Thank you for that! However our main problem are the calls to our mobiles...
No problem - you can register mobile as well as landline telephone numbers at the same time.
Another thank you!
