OT (just) Data protection Act

they say in their last paragraph ....... "If you as an organisation or
company hold any personal or customer information, either in a database or
other retrievable format, then in accordance with the Act and under the
authority of the Information Commissioner, you must register as a data
controller."
There you see what I was bothered about in an earlier post. *All* data
whatsoever is now in a retrievable format, since the advent of scanners and
optical character recognition software.
The only data *not* in retrievable form would be data written on paper,
shredded and put on the compost heap.
( There you are. Back on topic)
