STOP PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES SELLING OUR PERSONAL DATA.

Many people feel that companies make enough money from us already purchasing products from them, using our income in banking to invest, or tying us into long term contracts with phone companies ensuring future income for said company etc..
therefore public and private companies or corporations should not be able to sell our data without individuals permission.
This should be passed as a law under the data protection Act 1998.
They should also ensure, that, allowing the use of our data is not a requirement for being provided services as this is entirely undemocratic and is in effect bribery and coercion.
Companies should honour us when they say the will not use our data for any other purposes than managing our trading account with them.
In addendum to this request, The "information commissioning" officer , Christopher Graham and his department needs to ensure a more thorough investigation is undertaken and enforce the policies below until decisions are made regarding the request above of a change to the Data protection act.
Many of the below principles in the Data protection act 1998 are being broken regularly. and we are not informed if a company is making money form us.
These principles need to be amended to ensure our data is not sold without our permission or personal benefit outside of the original agreement we have made with said company.
