Becky,
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) the legislation and the different ways organisations decide to implement it accounts for the "discrepancies". Some HEI's have decided not to publish their staff/student directories due to the huge workload involved in making sure opt in/out is applied to comply. Whilst others have gone down route of opt in/out and have incomplete directories. Don't worry - life is 22222 short!

Looking at various university websites, I have discovered that some have
staff and student e-mail and telephone directories available to the general
web-surfing public, some state that they do not have such a directory
because of data protection legislation and others still, appear to have
adopted an "opt-in" system whereby only staff/students who ask to have
their contact details included will be published, resulting in an
incomplete directory. I find this discrepancy slightly worrying - has
anybody received advice from the OIC on this matter?
