This raises an interesting issue. What definition, if any, exists
determining 'domestic purposes'?
Is processing data to assure the security of your domestic property a
'domestic purpose'?
If so then it would be possible for any individual to obtain whatever
personal data they might dream of, which could assist them in assuring the
security of their domestic property. Something of a nightmare there.
Is there a reasonable limiting scope for 'domestic purposes', or is one
needed?
