That would make sense, thanks. It's not a number I've seen before but I can imagine that they created a second one to merge the info from Avios.com

It's not exactly an exciting document. Current contact details, any older contact details that are in the system and every BA flight you've taken.

I already have all those records

They have an email (one of several) on file for me that doesn't exist. It could quite easily be one of mine but it is not.

I've done this before. The quality of their data is iffy to say the least.

It says I am a Silver member which I haven't been for over 10 years, it has an email address that definitely isn't mine and no sign of CIV or anything interesting!

Glad I pulled the report as I have found a major anomaly in my record. It appears I have two postal addresses against my name and have my BAEC number any against both. The primary being in Scotland, not England. Furthermore it is not an address I recognise!

Should I raise this as a privacy/data protection issue?

Surely you just do the old world thing, contact them and ask them to correct it?

My company is working on a distributed ledger project for a large organization with thousands of stakeholders. It makes it possible for the stakeholders to edit their own information in the ledger and update it where necessary. After all, there's no-one better placed to correct their own information than the stakeholders themselves. What we're seeing here is an excellent demonstration of the drawbacks of centralized database systems where things get entered incorrectly or become out of date and rarely get corrected.

All okay apart from mine includes an Amsterdam postal address. When questioned by the missus I told her I hadn't a clue what it was....not sure she believed me.

Interestingly I also have a different second address - perhaps it's a system glitch?!

So three of us with the same issue. Surely this is one for the Data Protection Officer to investigate?

My Primary contact info is okay. The Amsterdam address they hold comes under the ''other contact details we have about you'' section.I suspect it's nothing to worry about

I would still email the DPO address at the bottom of the report to get it checked as a precaution. Still better to be safe than sorry later.

Could very well be a travel agent address.

Just downloaded mine, fascinating look back at all the travel I did in the 1995 to 2000 period. Forgotten I had been to the USA so many times too. I must be getting old
