At Exeter University staff e-mail addresses and staff
telephone numbers are contained on the University's web
site. This information is accessable to anyone world-wide,
such a process has been in operation for as long as the web
site has been up and running and consent from staff has not
consistently been obtained throughout the time. The Data
Protection Office has advised that consent to staff details
being placed on the web must be sought from existing staff,
whilst an appropriate sentence could be added to staff
contracts for new staff. Also, if information was sent out
to all staff, consent could not be inferred from a
non-response.
Has anyone in the mailbase sought mass retrospective
consent from staff? If so, how did you go about it? With
something in the region of 3,000 staff members, it is an
overwhelming task and any help/advice from someone who has
completed or is tackling the task would be most appreciated.
