This may be fun.
Some may recall my battle with #NHS who refused to update my email address as only 6 characters. I sold the domain I was using and raised with ICO where literally someone else was getting notices about appointments and medications. ICO said NHS has “correct email address” (a lie). I even took to parliamentary ombudsman who said ICO did nothing wrong (another lie). #GDPR right to correct personal data is clearly ignored when it is the NHS!
I had given up. But …
Last year NHS login says that my email on NHS login is not the same as doctor’s surgery and would I like to update it. Oooh. I said no, and told my doctor’s surgery to update to my usual short address.
Now they have done again and I have said yes.
They say they have saved my details.
This could be fun.
@revk Good luck!
I just found out that my email address “doesn’t look right” so HMPO rejects it.
It’s the same as my Mastodon handle. I get a lot of emails on it. But these vanity TLDs, new concept, right?
Then they tried to auto-correct my fastmail.com-generated one to fastmail.co.uk, which is just dangerous.
Who comes up with these rules?
So my wife is an accountant and does payrolls for 30 clients. There’s a new sort of obligatory pension thingy in Ireland so she has to deal with that online system now. When the system sends an email alerting to an issue there is no identifying information so she has to start logging into each in term and check the account.
I thought the “[email protected]” pattern would save her. Not accepted as a valid address. 🙄🙄🙄🤦🤬
