Which is a lie, given the amount of data proposed for release, it IS quite possible.
I initially thought this might be a good idea but the more I think about the lack of safeguards I'm becoming quite anti.

Exactly my concerns and reason enough to opt out as with this information it will be possible to be targeted by these companies and it should be opt in not opt out.
If believe the case to be any different then you must be deluded to think this will not happen as once they pay for the information they will be able to do whatever they want with it.
Do you really want unwanted advertising texts and phonecalls and possibly even spam emails in your inbox from these firms because I for one do not want that as it will be an invasion of my privacy.
Nothing will persuade me this is a good thing, back in the day when we had paper driving licences the DVLA used to put organ donation sections onto the licence which were removable and I removed them every time, oddly even these were removed after a few years as it was an invasion of privacy.
