Yes it is the same in the UK. All JW's sign the pub record card to say they don't mind info being held about them.
That arrangement started in the mid 90's

Personal details held at Branch level.
by JWFreak ini found it so interesting to see what information is held about you at the branch office, if you are or were an appointed man.. for instance.
name, address, date of birth, date of baptism, all dates where you have been an elder, ms etc, all the congs you have been appointed in.
s2 forms, letters of introduction scanned and available to read.

Hi Loubelle
I have had my grubby hands on Branch computers a number of times over the past few years. I am not willing to say how though

Whether you have been on a JC involving the S77 forms, appeal commitees etc. all the documents, summary letters, etc are all scanned and available in your data file.
If you have given District talks, your ratings (D- to A+) on how good a speaker you are, your ratings, your if you have overseen a department, or been on a District committee etc.
Any letter you have sent into the branch, and any reply all come up in a data search, no matter how old.
In some European countries you can only donate by cheque, these donations are in your file.
If you have applied for Gilead, MTS, Bethel, Construction etc, all the forms even from many years ago are scanned.
You may be 50 years old and have had some judicial trouble in your teens....yep in your data file.
And now with the elder login facility to the society servers, they can check by the cookies what websites you visited before logging in giving them your ID and passwords.
These are the ones I know about, there may be more, however these only apply to those who are or were appointed or brought to the societys attention.

One possible explanation for the change to CBS (& maybe other changes?)
by sir82 inas has been noted on this forum and elsewhere, recent years have seen a flurry of changes coming to the jw organization, at blinding speed (at least, as compared to their usual glacial pace).. here's a thought that occurred to me as to why all these changes, all of a sudden.. 2 or so years ago, the gb had 11 members.
since then, sydlik & barber have died.
the votes for "drop the book study" were probably either 6-5 or 7-4 in favor - a majority, but not the required 2/3 majority.. now they're down to 9 members, and probably the most recent vote to drop the book study was 6-3. voila!

Ps
I forgot to mention.............
I was speaking with Jack Barr last month.....no BS here.
His story is that the Book study change took 2 years to decide from the original suggestion. He was really proud of the fact that they deliberated so long about the brothers needs..........gag!!
