Sky and Data Privacy

I hate cold callers with a passion you can only imagine. I love my weekends off.

So imagine my frustration when I got a cold call at 10:15 on a Saturday morning.

"Good morning Mr Taylor, how are you today?"

"Huh? Erm, Im fine thanks, who might you be?"

"Im Miss Smith (not her real name) calling from D&G, you have now had your Sky+ box for over a year, and your warranty with Sky has run out, don't worry though..."

"Im not"

"...because we can cover you for break downs, etc etc etc"

"let me just stop you there Miss Smith, Im rather surprised that after reading my contract and it saying that Sky don't sell my data to other corporations, that I find myself talking to a third party about renewing my sky warranty."

"Erm...." Silence.

"I can inform you that I wont be taking you up on your fine offer, of some worthless warranty, that you will wriggle out of the second I need it, I will however be taking up this apparent breach of contract with Mr Murdoch and his Sky team. Have a nice day!"

Don't get me wrong, I love having Sky TV, but I wonder where I stand on this 'selling on to third party' clause?

Time to do some research I reckon...if you have had any calls like this let me know?
