Despite nagging from my local surgery, I've never signed up for Manage My Health. But in the last two weeks I've had six emails like this. Clearly I'm in the database without my permission. Can anyone shed light on this?

If your GP practice uses MMH or has used it in the past, you're on their system, whether or not you enrol for their service.

@RedRobyn declined the service, but may have documents at risk because the GPs use it.

@oseiler reports despite their GP practice switching from MMH to another provider, MMH kept all their records. They also received a message to say their data wasn't stolen, followed by another saying it had been.

MMH confirms that unless each individual customer closes their account, it remains active in the background, forever. I wonder how many of their claimed 1.8m users are actually zombie accounts?

In terms of breach management, MMH has ballsed-up their response spectacularly.

I stopped using it when new terms of service became required. later my GP stopped using it.

Today I could still log in and see all my info. But first, I was forced to update my password, and accept new terms of service before I could delete my account. UGH.
