Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Basically, I received a letter yesterday where the content of it was very visible through the "window".

Does anyone know where I stand on this re: Data Protection?

I have not yet opened it, but two family members noticed it before I did.

You could try complaining to the company who sent you the correspondence, but they could probably reasonably argue that by sending a letter addressed to you, at your own address, they haven't intentionally disclosed information to an unauthorised third party

If sensitive personal information (e.g. financial, medical) was clearly visible without even opening the correspondence, you may have more of an argument, but they probably would be unwilling to pay compensation or a goodwill payment unless you can show that there have been any repercussions from other people having access to this information.
