I work in a company for which data protection checks are vital, and I note that nowadays a user's profile (if they've completed one) is visible on the board - isn't it a bit risky to publicly list everybody's real name and date of birth, as these are the 2 most important bits of info used when confirming identity? I'm not sure if it's a breach of data protection as boarders don't HAVE to supply DoB, but still a bit risky isn't it?

I'll be honest and say that if it's on the net and not something obvious like Amazon I never give real details.
