The Freedom of Information Act

[paypalpains]

Hi any law buffs out there know more about the freedom of information act in relation to the private sector ?

Anyone know if ebay is a wholly owned company?

FOIA applies only to Gov. and public agencies. eB is wholly owned by it's shareholders.

LOL - I love it - a citizen from one of 'the colonies' explains the freedom of information act to us - well done stillselling and thank you!!

The op was asking about American law. Someone came in and was happy to answer. Nothing about your post is ironic or helpful.

I am from the UK and was asking about UK law, however I do not want to deter from my opening questions. Please take your wars else where, there is no need for it.

I will make it more simple, can I use the FOIA to obtain information ebay are holding on me ? simples

QUIET. No need at all.

To the OP:

Inadvertingly you used a term not exactly pertinent to UK law.

Your inquires would be made in the terms of the Data Protection Act.

PM sent with information.
