For the UK, where you live, that is correct. As said before though the law has different consquences in the different European countries.
The possible consequences for you are:
"Fine - in the U.K. a maximum of £5,000;
A criminal record against the company, its directors and/or its senior management;
A visit from the relevant European Commissioner's office;
The cessation of processing until such time as the Directive is complied with;
Litigation by the Data Subject; Subsequent legal costs incurred."
Makes you go uhm?
