I did the survey, it's about 4 questions and nothign at all to do with the car, more demographic data collection:

Questions:

1. Why did LR bother?
2. is my email address 'open' to anyone who wants to find out from this site? L319 D4 HSE

1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF

1982 Series 3 SWB

RRUK - this survey is not connected to RRSPORT at all - I would never send addresses or details out without permission from everyone concerned.

It sounds to me like it is being sent to people who have signed up for the "Range Rover Sport Keep Me Informed" newsletter via Land Rover's web site.

Honestly - it wasn't me  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

Aha, I should have deduced that from the final paragraph I guess. Yes, Landrover DO have my email address for the Keep Me Informed thing.

As surveys go, it was pointless. L319 D4 HSE

If LR really have employed this RSM company to execute the survey, they'll obviously have provided the email addresses accordingly. What the terms of use of those addresses might be is a different matter. I've found that the more websites you type your address into, the more chance you have of being spammed. As far as I'm aware there's still no law that bars people from selling on your email address to unscrupulous "marketing" agencies. One of the many holes in the Data Protection Act.
