Takeaway drivers are pestering customers to have sex with them using contact details they provide for deliveries, the data watchdog has warned. 

 

Close to a third (29pc) of 18-34-year-olds have been targeted by so-called “text pests”, individuals who use personal information such as a phone number or email address given to them in a business context for “romantic” or sexual proposition, according to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

 

It said examples of propositions included delivery drivers asking customers out on dates or even sex after dropping off their order, using details the victims provided to the delivery companies.
 

The watchdog has now started to crack down on the practice and has contacted “major customer-facing” businesses to ask what their safeguarding policies are and to remind them of their legal duties. 

 

It has also launched a call for evidence, asking victims to speak out about their experiences to assess the scale of the issue. 
 

Companies can be fined up to £17.5m or 4pc of their global turnover if they are found not to be properly enforcing data protection rules, the ICO said. 

 

Employees taking contact details that have been provided in confidence to a business to provide a service and using them for other means breach data protection law and can be fined or even jailed. 

 

Emily Keaney, of the regulator said: “People have the right to order a pizza, or give their email for a receipt, or have shopping delivered, without then being asked for sex or a date a little while later.
 

“They have a right to know that when they hand over their personal information, that it will not then be used in ways that they would not be comfortable with.” 

 

She added businesses had a responsibility to protect the data of their customers, including from employee misuse. 

 

One 34-year-old woman recently told The Sun her pizza delivery driver had messaged her on multiple apps to encourage her to “thank him” for her food in person, despite her instructing him to stop. 

 

BBC presenter Naga Munchetty previously told Radio 5 Live that a taxi driver had pursued her using information she had given the company. 

 

In 2022, a Curry’s delivery driver was fired after reportedly sending inappropriate messages to two customers, with the company confirming that it was reinforcing its security procedures.

 

The problem is most prevalent in London, where a third of those who have ordered food or other goods online have been hassled, the watchdog said.

 

Men are twice as likely as women to believe that the behaviour is legal, according to a survey of more than 2,200 adults carried out for the regulator.

Haha, told my missus about this.

Her response was that she can't think of anything more than an unshaved Albanian on a moped to get her juices flowing.

The Torygraph (with anecdotal evidence from the S*n) demonising ordinary workers, especially immigrants? Surely not! 

 

"Takeaway drivers are pestering customers to have sex with them using contact details they provide for deliveries."

 

What? All of them?

 

Well, no. We've no idea about how many drivers. But "close to a third" of customers have experienced this.

 

Really? Close to a third of customers? 

 

Well, sort of. 29%.

 

What? 29% of all customers?

 

Well, no. 29% of those aged 18 to 34.

 

Really? Male as well as female?

 

Uhh. Not sure. 

 

And 29% of those (male and/or female) aged 18 to 34 have been "pestered for sex"?

 

Well, for a "romantic or sexual proposition". 

 

OK. So close to a third of all customers have not been pestered. Let alone for sex. And even if they had, it might be by a minority of repeat sex pests.

 

But remember. "Takeaway drivers are pestering customers to have sex with them using contact details they provide for deliveries."

What percentage of Tory MPs, one wonders...
