The website's copy the information from Companies House.
As already stated as a director you have a legal responsibility that means your information is in the public domain.
If you have a good reason why it shouldn't be in the public domain such as you are a victim of domestic abuse then Companies House will ensure it's not there. However what you are complaining about is not a good reason as there are other measures you can use to limit the likelihood of fraud being perpetrated against you that don't involve Companies House.

This is exactly my concern is. Fraudster or rogue relatives can easily get date of birth and address, which can be easily used for identity fraud.
However, some directors don't have their date of birth listed on this websites.

I would worry more about your neighbours' especially the ones who are only around temporarily and someone at the many financial companies you bank with or have credit cards with nicking your details, than Joe Bloggs using the company director information published on the internet.

I'm contracting with a LTD company and I'm the director of my LTD company. Recently I did company director search on my name on companycheck and Duedil etc and I was shocked seeing how much of my personal information are publicly available on this director search websites. I'm particularly concerned about my date of birth publicly showing on these sites. Is there anyway to hide these sensitive information from public view on these websites?
Would be grateful if someone shares their experiences. Thanks.
