On average each person in the UK gets about 120 pieces of direct mail a year. Research from a recent YouGov survey shows that on average, when given a choice, we only want about 25% of what is sent.
itsmypost.com is a new service that has been set up specifically to make sure that you only get the mail that you want. itsmypost.com simply provides an automated email or letter service that sends a request to stop processing your data to your chosen companies - all at the click of your mouse.
We all know how annoying it is to get mail that just doesn’t interest us. Some of us worry about the environment, some about our privacy but more and more of us simply don’t want the irrelevant stuff. For the first time you will be able to make use of the Data Protection Act (1998) to ensure that these companies stop processing your information..
About 10 minutes is all it will take to tell hundreds of organisations that you no longer want to receive their mail – choose the electronic service and you won't even have to send a single letter.
