Primarily depends on what the purpose of their calls will be:
1. Is the purpose of their call compatible with the purpose they
originally collected the name and address for?
2. Is it necessary to carry out their statutory functions?
3. Is the name/address/telephone no. data already in the public domain,
specifically in this case, whether they are listed in the phone book?
If you say "no" to any of the above, I'd say you were heading into
choppy seas, Cap'ain....

Subject: [data-protection] A Friday Question?
Any thoughts on the following?
An organisation holds personal data (Name and Address) for a statutory
purpose and now wants to append telephone numbers to this data by
arranging for a data supplier to match and append this information so
that it can contact the individuals by phone. The organisation when
collecting the personal data initially allowed data subjects the option
of supplying their telephone number, but this was not a mandatory field.
Are there any issues with this and if so what would the
organisation/data supplier need to do in order to comply with the
relevant legislation?
Thanks for your help with this. Looking for thoughts on this for a paper
I am doing.
Thanks
Cathy
