Previous guidance by the Commissioners Office has stated very clearly that
information provided as part of a subject access request can only be used in
the processing of that request. First principle issue straight down the
line.
I completely fail to see what a NI number can have to do with any subject
access request to video footage. Sounds like a breach of principle three if
that is happening.
The DPA principles apply to the information needed to process subject access
requests as much as any other data being collected do they not?
