If Maileva had your data

Look for Maileva’s own notice or letter: it should say what of yours was involved. Keep it.
Your home address is out: be wary of letters, parcels or visitors that mention Maileva, and of texts asking for a “delivery fee”.
Expect scams that use your details: calls, texts or emails pretending to be Maileva, your bank or the police. Never give codes or passwords, never approve a sign-in you did not start, never move money.
