I value my privacy and I generally keep myself to myself. Loads of celebs out there seem to be in everyone’s face but there’s something to be said for going incognito. Being public opens up all sorts of things, some good, some bad!
I was googling my postcode (sometimes it’s good to check this every so often and I found that Zoopla, a private company, have acquired details of my home, perhaps bought from the Land Registry or some other source. If people want information from the Land Registry it should ideally be from responsible organisations not private companies out to sell advertising.
My property is not for sale either.
Anyone can put up photos, on the site, even if they’re from the gas man. So if you have people in your house make sure it is tidy, and hide the antiques. Make sure your rottweiler gets in front of the photo.
You can also imagine dodgy exes having a field day and adding private photos of a property, not to mention marketing companies sending out junk mail, and you having a real job, trying to get it removed.
Google quite happily removed my property upon request, but Zoopla refuse to do so. Even 192 have removed my details. I am X-directory. But Zoopla, well, it is all out what they want. Some customer service that is.
I expect other people want to keep their property details private, not to mention their interiors too, and dodgy paintings by Grandma Maude or collection of meercats.
The information they publish can be misleading and inaccurate too.
The matter is being taken up further as they hadn’t removed it.
Dear Zoopla - Remove my Property
