Dear all
To save me trawling through the mailbase or the Act itself, could someone
answer what I think is a simple question (my brain isn't in gear I'm
afraid).
We receive a request for a reference from an employer. Can we assume by the
fact that we have received the request that a.) the data subject has
provided us as the referee and b.) that it is in the interest of the data
subject for us to provide that reference. I suppose that what I am getting
at is "do we need to seek permission from the data subject for release of
the reference?" I am fairly sure that this isn't required, but not certain!
Thanks
Matt Nunn
