In addition to TPS, it may sound simple, and probably too late now, but never give your number out. Only family have my landline no (and banks credit cards for security) - ALWAYS make sure you opt out of marketing. Give a mobile no if really needed - which can be switched off, or '01234567890' if a web order from insists on your giving a tel. no - they don't need it, just gong to flog the data on.

The only people I have had harrassing me with marketing are Virgin Media who ignore TPS. Eventually I managed to get them to stop as well.

Sometimes you have to take responsibility for care of your own data.
