Stop UCAS selling PRIVATE DETAILS of applicants to advertisers.
Prevent the unconsented selling of candidates' private details through UCAS- the ONLY way to apply to HE courses.
Why is this important?
Immoral! Not acceptable! Making money from this action. It's not their info to share, is it?
"Access to the data of more than a million teenagers and students and thousands of their parents is being sold to advertisers such as mobile phone and energy drinks companies by Ucas, the university applications body.
The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service received more than £12m last year in return for sending targeted advertising to subscribers as young as 16."
