Removing my data

Post 1

Hi,

I have an old H2G2 account here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/U53580 I have not accessed that a/c for years and I have lost the login info. The account was set up when I was young and it includes my real name. It is highly ranked on Google when searching for my name. There are some things in there which I am embarrassed about and would like to see removed. How can I do this? Is it possible for you to just remove/delete the whole account for me? I'm sure I have this right under the Data Protection Act 1998.

Thanks,
-- Adam.

I suggest that you "Yikes" the entry or message that contains the offending information.

Explain your situation on the screen that pops up and hope that you run into a sympathetic moderator.

smiley - goodluck
