I have been interested to read this thread of discussion and was wondering
really whether the DPA actually covers workplace communications of any kind
or whether it would be difficult under DPA to get a judgement against the
use of work systems by an employer or other staff to distribute
communications (which may be construed as direct marketing) would come
under some other kind of legislation. I say this as workplace identities
are in the public, not private, docmain and it would not make sense to
afford the same protection to them. In fact I don't really see how this
could be done under the DPA.
I am new to this though so perhaps someone could enlighten me !
