The BBC has 35 pages in its possession after the organisation was alerted by a man walking with his children on Sunday. He saw the documents lying at Victoria Market car park in the city centre. | |
A BBC reporter found many more in adjacent streets. | |
Most of the documents do not feature people's names, though one does appear to disclose the names of eight callers. | |
Some of the telephone logs carry information about alleged sexual abuse, crime and addictions. | |
Contact NI said they take data confidentiality very seriously and were shocked. | |

Contact NI appealed for anyone who came across the documents to return them to their offices at the Embassy Building in the city. |
