# The DPA isn't worth the paper its printed on
thankfully

By having a Nectar card you become a 'customer' which means they have a lot of power over what they can do with your data whether you you opt-out or not...

# they just sent me my points update
saying that as I had opted out I have missed out on 100s of great offers and gave me the option to opt in again.

I always make sure I tick the right box and never get junk mail. So obviously some people take notice of it.

# I lways obey the "do not mail" (DNM) requests only cos its easier than dealing with the complaints
the DPA is widely regarded as weak tho its not as useless as the MPS

I just gave them my old address when I got my Nectar card - I still get the points in sainsburys...

# Indeed.
I believe the opt-out only prevents them selling what info they want to all and sundry.
