During some research I visited the http://www.police.uk/ website and was
puzzled to note there was no privacy notice link from the site.
Tracking through the site to the on-line crime reporting section (the Minor
Crime link) the statement:-
"Submitting personal information about yourself (such as name and address)
to this website will result in those details only being used for official
purposes related to the site, we will not pass them on to any third party.
This complies with the Data Protection Act 1998, details of which can be
found at www.dpr.gov.uk <link.asp?url=www.dpr.gov.uk>"
appeared, a few more pages eventually indicated a secure server was to be
used. I did not proceed further as I had no crime to report.
Question: Would the statement above limit the use of the data provided via
this site to police forces only?
