Interesting that. Judging by the timings on the search engine and the way records are easily returned that site is presently being scraped by someone. Very easy source he's prOvided there to quickly scrape, download and build a pretty good marketing list.
I should know. I did the Forbes 2000 list last week. ;-)
This guy is definitely heading for a brush with the ICO if you ask me. Not only do they have all recent searches openly displayed, they also have a drillable "who searched for what when" section. That's asking to get sued.
Say you know your company's up against two others for a bid but you don't know who your competitors are. What's the betting that if you have a look through and find your own company in the list around about the time you submitted your tender, that the other two in the running will be either side of yours in the list? That's indirectly revealing personal information on behalf of the person conducting the search!.
Are you planning to break into gold and diamonds sledge market?
Sledges are so last year. Wind breaks and umbrellas are the big thing.
There was a site like this company check which was around a few years ago. That one was a bloody joke. When you did a directors search it would ask for a DOB and return directors who matched exactly. When it returned the record it would show Year and Month. So basically you could search for a director first by name, then get their month and year of birth, and then subsequently use the search engine again but this time working your way through the day until you got an exact match. Identity theft! Knock yourself out.

Bollox, you're making an assumption from the information. There is no personally identifiable data returned from those results.
