GDPR Request — Equifax

The 2017 Equifax breach exposed financial and personal data of 15.2 million UK residents and 147.9 million people globally — including names, dates of birth, addresses, National Insurance numbers, and credit card details. The ICO fined Equifax £500,000 (the maximum under the pre-GDPR law). Equifax holds detailed credit and financial data on most UK adults.

This letter is pre-addressed to Equifax Limited, the official EU data controller for Equifax. Fill in your details and copy or send it directly.

Equifax does not publish a direct DPO email. Use their privacy contact form or send by post to the address shown in the letter.
