I would be grateful for any advice the group can give me on the following:
If contact details for a club or society are on an Internet site and the
data subjects are made aware that their information will be available to
anyone with access to the World Wide Web and have given consent that their
data may be used for this purpose how does the fact that the data is
available on the Internet change things? ...
1. Can this data be compiled by another individual/organisation for direct
marketing purposes without seeking consent from the data subject to hold the
information or has the data subject waived such rights by allowing it to be
published on the web?
2. Can the data controller of the internet database pass any data to another
individual/organisation without obtaining consent from the data subject if
the information is available in the "public domain" anyway i.e. the
Internet?
Regards,
Graeme
