Subject: FW: Electoral Role
> I have recently been asked a query concerning the use of the electoral
> role and DPA.
>
> A software company has available personal information gained from the
> electoral role which we may be able to purchase to use to ensure our
> customer database is cleansed of duplicate entries etc...
>
> I have a couple of queries on which I would be grateful for your comments:
>
> 1) As the information on the electoral role is in the public domain, is
> it subject to DPA restrictions?
>
> 2) Can we use this information from the electoral to cleanse our
> system?
>
> I eagerly await your thoughts.
>
> Thanks
