They phoned me a month or so ago, said that they saw me on my local escort and if they could include me on their site for free. I said that as long as it is free and looks good then they can do what they want. They emailed when they was done and I looked and I liked what they had done. I've had a few calls from it but not much.
They told me it was an Italian website.

As I'm reading about this new personal data protection law (GDPR) that will be enforced in EU in May 2018, we have to give an EXPLICIT consent to have our data stored or used.
So effectively all directories stealing profiles will be unlawful. Not that hey are acting within the law now...?
But it may be fairly easy to report them for unlawful activity?...  ???

Hmm... but it applies to 'personal data', like name, email address, phone number.
Does an advert/ escorting profile classify as personal data? Rather not.
Sorry, I'm confused  :-\

Ha!... So if they use our phone number with the advert it will be breach of law, right?

Ha!... The more I'm thinking about it (about GDPR law).... I think that it will be the end of public verification photos on AW  ;D

When you register a profile now, the verification photo is shown publicly by default, you need to be aware of checking the box to hide it in settings.
But according to this law, they will have to have your direct consent to show it. Hmm... unless they will hide it in Privacy Policy...

But Folks, after 25th May this year we will have the right to ask AW or anyone else to show us all the details they keep on us and to delete them permanently  :)  :)  :)

Isn't it awesome?!   :D

And if they don't do that, we can report a concern with the data watchdog (ICO).

That's great but I would imagine AW will just refuse you membership and delete your profile
Considering that they did this for a lady doing a charge back I would imagine they will just delet your profile and refuse you access to the site to save themselves the headache

Good point, Paris!

But if I understand this new data protection law correctly, it can be useful in case when, for example:
- You decide to retire and want to have your data removed (from a website that you gave your data to in the first place, not third-party reviews etc)
- When you're setting up AW profile, now it's showing your verification photo by default; after this law comes up, you need to give direct consent for any data to be used, so it's the end of automatically clicked boxes (I think!)
- For any websites that steal photos and details, referring to this law and reporting them to ICO can be a good leverage when contacting them to remove your data.

And it doesn't matter if a company is based in Malta or whenever, if they want to do business in the EU, they have to comply with this law.
This is my understanding of GDPR, I might be wrong.

Hi ladies,

I've had some disturbing discoveries tonight; I googled my work number because I've had a few strange people message me including someone who said they say my profile on the "deepweb" which had me utterly freaked out.... so I googled my number and found my profile with full face pics old and new (someone's been coping my pics) and random text from various profiles I've had in the past on a website called shokka and one called ciakkara and en-gb.escort-advisor
All of these sites revealed my FULL FACE pictures, phone number and AW name

I am horrified and distressed to see my face with escort literally plastered all over the Internet I didn't agree to this and surely it's illegal and infringement? Can anyone offer legal advice or help?

Also my number comes up for posts on saafe that I've listed before is there anyway to delete them please.

Thinking about going into hiding... and yes I've emailed each website and asked them to remove my images and number!!!!

Merged. None of these sites are anything to do with the 'deep web', they're juat crappy directories using scraped content, although if there are face picture which you've never uploaded anywhere yourself that's different. There's plenty of info in the rest of the thread.

If you want to edit a SAAFE post you've made there is a Modify button at the top of each one.

Has anyone else heard of this site? I keep getting calls from men who have seen me on there and think I'm based in Bradford, which am not. I assume they've lifted my details from AW, obviously without my permission.

Have written to them to tell them to remove my ad, but no response as yet. Anyone else had this problem, or have any idea who's behind it?

No, an occasional bump for these is good! It reminds me to check where they've put me this week ::).
