    Any idea how I achieve this? I care not for their events. Why isn't there something on the site etc. to opt out?

    Signed up to UCD ents with my number in september 09'. They didn't contact me all of last year. I didn't sign up to any societies or ents last semester. Yet they choose to bombard me now..

    All societies follow a strict rule of deleting all records of the previous year's membership contact details. Apparently Ents feel that signing up in the Freshers Tent is a life time contract! I've tried getting my details removed, the suggestion was not appreciated or followed up! Meh!

    Nope... The rule is there but very few follow it.
    Maybe in the big socs, but all the small societies I know start with a fresh list each year

    Just got a text from CITIBAR

    Now I know they don't have my number. I'm opening a case with Comreg. This has gone way too far.

    I got the same text. I'm doing the same. This is ridiculous. This is also breaching the data protection act unless I'm mistaken.

    My father (who has definitely not attended UCD) got a text from CITIBAR about a UCD related event, although I have been plagued by all the texts from UCDents I didn't get the text from CITIBAR.

    Just checked and my fathers number is on the Emergency contact details (in the SIS account)
    Very strange..

    hi guys,

    Jonny here. If you wish to remove yourself simply email myself @ jonny@ucdents.com with the subject line please remove number and your mobile and it shall be done.

    all the numbers collected were done so in compliance with the data protection act and all numbers which are emailed come from numbers collected at Freshers week, orientation week and various ents events throughout the year. I made a point of not using previous years database as has been the case in the past.

    if you feel that you are receiving them and shouldn't be it is usually the case that someone put down the wrong number/mixed a digit up on sign-up.

    with regard the citibar text, i also recived this and can say officially that it was nothing to do with UCD Ents, they merely mentioned UCD, that doesn't mean I passed on any data.

    anything just drop me an email I've no issue dealing with your questions.

    J

    Sick...

    I got a string of texts from a pizza place advertising 2 for 1 and that last year. After asking around ucd I think a lot of people were getting them. Considering the fact that I had never even given my number to any societies I did wonder had ucd just sold a load of their students numbers.

    Really wouldn't surprise me if the college had, anything to get more money out of their students.
