All
I would appreciate views on the following issues around the practical application of data matching.
Q1. Matching codes of practice I've seen tend to indicate that individuals should be advised that matching may take place.
Is this an absolute requirement, or is it sufficient to inform them that the information provided may be subject to further confirmation ?
Q2. Public records would be useful in some data matching (e.g. the electoral register).
I understand they will be exempt from the non-disclosure provisions........ but would the second principle still apply in that a public register should only be used for its original purpose ?
(e.g. the electoral register could be disclosed, but should not be used for anything incompatible with registration) ?
any advice gratefully received.
thanks,
