First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. But Gandhi never had to deal with HMRC -
This is a really stupid reason to lose a gig over. Some company has your name and email address, boo hoo.
You've also lost a lot of face with the client. They won't be reaching out to you for future work.Comment

"due to no fault by me"......hysterical.
So you lost a gig because you took a stand against a data privacy issue, well done you!Comment

You don't wait until you are binned to talk to people you talk to them immediately the problem occurs.
So if you get a contract and don't like it, speak up before you sign it. If you can't get the contract amended you don't accept it and be prepared to walk. You also make sure any verbal communications are backed up in writing e.g email. If you do use email ensure that a copy is retained in your business email account.
Oh and regarding data I once had a contract which said they wanted to send my data to India unless I opted-out. So I opted-out while the contract was being negotiated. However I know some of my personal data is in India thanks to the likes of BT and certain banks.Comment

I thought it was something in the data policy you were not happy about, not the lack of communication?
And for the record, of course I hope I don't have my identity forged, but losing a gig because someone tries to introduce a timesheet company seems a little of an over-reaction without specifics.Comment
