Data Protection

Hi,

I'm a long-term member and have returned to PeoplePerHour recently following a lull in my transcription work caused by the two COVID lockdowns.

Yesterday, I took advantage of your Boost My Cert facility, which I found to be hugely helpful, and it enabled me to send an email to hundreds of people on my personal contact lists at Gmail, Outlook, et al. The responses I received were hugely welcome and very positive.

However, one of the responses was from a data professional called Tim Turner who I do know and am familiar with, although I've never met him personally. He complained that he'd been sent FOUR identical emails, which I believe to be accurate. Mr Turner also wrongly accused me of being a bully and a narcissist inside his endorsement, and later a coward in a comment on my Wordpress blog. But more seriously, he said I'd breached data protection laws - presumably the recent EU GDPR legislation - by passing his data to a third party (PeoplePerHour), by retaining his data, and by using it without permission in the context of my professional activities.

Can I place an official request with you to delete the following four email addresses from your records (if they still exist there)?

tim73turner@gmail.com

timtrain2040@gmail.com

timturner7373@gmail.com

tim@2040training.co.uk

I ask because I suspect Mr Turner may not be simply letting off steam, and there's a possibility he may take this issue further and possibly into the legal realm:

Many thanks for your patience and understanding and please can you respond as and when you get the opportunity?

Paul Cardin
