@PorterShenanig1 The deadline to prevent a record from ever being created for you is tonight. Once it has been created, you can cancel it at any time in your life. Some people may like to prevent one being created, hence the deadline being tonight. Hope that helps!

@MadelineHayman You CAN delete it at any time in your life, but one will be created for you at midnight if you can’t opt out. If you can’t get through to the call centre today, we would recommend trying again over the next couple of days to cancel. Hope that helps!

@TomNorton87 @mygov We’re also hearing that call wait times are quite long. Fortunately you CAN now cancel your MHR at any time in your life. Best of luck with opting-out!

@SummerSlacking A record will be automatically created for you if you don’t opt out by midnight, but you CAN now cancel your MHR at any time in your life. Definitely still some major security questions, but at least you have the opportunity to withdraw at a later date!

@75Tramislate Thanks for the feedback. Good call. We’ve updated now!

@WoollyMammoth9 To clarify - a record will be automatically created for you if you don’t opt out by midnight, but you CAN now cancel your MHR at any time in your life. Definitely still some major security questions!

@shadowcyclist @Asher_Wolf We love your passion Andy! We certainly agree with your sentiment here. There's so major concerns around the linking of data, and at the moment there's a huge gap in transparency. Hopefully the word can spread & we'll see some more changes!
