Jackie,
Normal...or should I say "Good Practice" is , that where you are sharing/disclosing data, you should have your own organisation policy which clearly states what the other organisation /s can and cannot do with the data you give them. This should be a policy to be signed by the organisation before any disclosure is made.
As the Data Controller YOU are responsible for the data as in "processing" it, meaning everything you do with the data from obtaining it,.. holding it, disclosing It, to how you dispose of it.
If you disclose it you need to take appropiate steps to safeguard the data .

Can anyone tell me if the obligation is on the original collector of the
data to check if other organisations with whom the data may be shared (with
the knowledge of the data subjects, of course) are notified under the DPA.
Comments appreciated.
