Also in SA, and also contacted by Optus. The thing that shits me is that I haven’t been a customer in a couple of years. They really shouldn’t have details unnecessarily stored unless there is some government requirement.

Same over here, over five years since I left, more than the required time they're required to hold information for.

That’s what happens when you don’t have a clear legislation like Europe’s GDPR.
