Part of the DPA is that data help about a person must be current and relevant, i.e. all the details must be up-to-date and the company cannot hold huge swathes of data about a person if those details are not related to the purpose for which they are being used.

Under this I would guess if you have no affiliation with a company then all data they hold about you is irrelevant so must be removed.

Edit. Don't forget that the TPS also applies to sms messages, I've not recieved any since I register, now if only they would extend it to cover e-mail.
