I'm currently working on an academic journal article on privacy, data
protection and human rights, (basically on reconciling the right of privacy
with the need to use technology to tackle terrorism/fraud/cybercrime, etc -
with a particular emphasis on European legislation.
Would be grateful if anyone could recommend any useful sources of reference.
Thanks.

Teresa,
You're straying into the murky world of RIP with your questions, which
is what part 3 is supposed to reconcile with DP.
Everything depends on the policy your organisation adopts and what it
tells its employees. Unwritten rules are normally only worth the paper
they're written on !
If the organisation says nothing is private and tells everyone, then
everything can be accessed. If it says things marked "private" belong to
individuals, it can still access them if there is a justifiable business
need (eg keeping the mail system working or investigating a possible
crime), but it is unlikely that a manager could justify forcing access
merely because an employee was off.
The key issue is adopting a policy and publicising it to all employees.

Subject: [bulk email] [data-protection] Email !!!!!!! and H drive
There is a question running around my head - and a lot of contradictory
answers and chasing it !!!!
I have an email box with my employer -- is my email box private ??
are my emails private ?? If I was on holiday and my manager wanted
access
to my emails for an urgent business need can he look in my in box ? and
the
same questions apply for the H drive.
There seems to be unwritten rules that the mail box and the H drive are
the
temporary property of the person logged in ..... but ultimately the
system
belongs to my employer doesn't it ... so ultimately can representatives
of
my employer i.e. my manager go into both places to search for documents
???
Of course we have policies and procedures saying that the email system
must
be used in the interests of the company, and we have shared drives so
that
individuals save work where other people can get to them ..... but of
course they still used the H drive
In part 3 of the Code of Practice from the ICs office it talks about
employees putting the word PRIVATE in the subject of the mail and then
employers cannot open it ..... but wouldn't that be abused !!!
And can anyone point me to the "written word" about this ????????????
HELP !!!
