    So was browsing through google and came across my moms name on a website called EUPSE on it has her
    Full Name
    Phone Number
    Address
    And a map to it.

    This is just ridiculus and a complete invasion of privacy.

    It says you can remove it by going to privacy and fill out the details which i did and that a confirmation on your email will be sent which i havent received tried many times but no luck.

    anyone know of this website or how info were obtained?
    Could it be from eircom?
    Vodafone?

    Reverse phone books are common in the US and I think its great there is one here now. As far as I know you are in the phonebook unless you ask not to be.

    Your best place to start is Data Protection Commissioner. They will know if any rules were broken and tell you your rights
