Businesses should not ‘hide behind’ Data Protection Act

Not ideal and would breach data protection without consent of applicant who may be happy to release phone contact but, address completely unecessary and risky inviting unsolicited visitation or burglary if known to be on holiday etc.

No shouldn't done.

Hello

Their deatils are not secured on a data base they are pinned on a notice board!!!

Barry

A club I am a member of displays personal details of prospective members on the club notice board i.e. name, address and phone number. I raised this matter with the club secretary regarding this as it may breach data protection or lead to identity theft.

His view is that he isnt aware of anyones identity being stolen also when a memeber is accepted their details arte secured on a database.

Is this a breach of data protection?

Just lazy and indiferent..........
