From Outlaw, Information Commissioner issues first website enforcement order
"The ICO says that B4U, a Birmingham company which performs searches for information on individuals at b4usearch.com, is in breach of the Data Protection Act (DPA). B4U says that it has not received any notification of an order.
The ICO says that B4U has breached the Act by using electoral roll data from before 2002. After 2002, people filling in an electoral roll form could choose to be excluded from the public register. The ICO also says that the company ignored requests from individuals for their details to be removed, which is in contravention of the Act."
