Data protection Act
"Bob Hobden" wrote in message ... "Franz wrote in message after "David wrote in message "...........Actually, no, it isn't. You are not a data holder under either of the two Acts if you simply reply to a message. If you disagree, please post or Email a reference to the section of the Act that makes it illegal........" Actually the reference came from a programme on Radio 4 today dealing with the above act, and it was given as one of the lesser known anomalies of the act, when they were stressing the need for it to be radically revised. The act stinks with anomalies. Even the address list which Outlook Express keeps for my personal use is not supposed to hold data on any person for more than 30 days. In principle every user of OE should registrer with the Data Protection Registrar. I thought it was only relevant to businesses You should be so lucky! like David's not to private individuals or we would all be in trouble with our Christmas Cards lists etc. which cannot be the idea of the act. The whole act is a total dogs' dinner. And I bet it will not be truly clear and enforcesble even after they have another tinker at it. Franz |
