I quote from a reply I had from the OIC ( then DPR) in April 2000,
concerning the publication of staff email address on our web site :
<start quote>
....an e-mail address such as your own clearly falls within the definition
of personal data in that it identifies a living individual. The purpose for
which personal data in question may be processed, whether for business or
private use, is not relevant to the judgement as to whether or not a
particular item constitutes personal data.
