Roland/Ian
An interesting conversation, chaps, but aren't we missing the point? If we
have established that the information about the SAR will not be held in a
relevant filing system - even if it's in the person's employment file it might not
be covered post Durant - the length of time it is kept is of no legal concern.
What some individuals out there seem to think is that Durant will only affect
subject access requests. In fact, it will mean that the files do not have to
comply with *any* of the Principles. Hold it as long as you want, whether
it's accurate or not, don't bother keeping it up to date, forget about security
and don't even bother telling the person or the ICO how you are processing it.
Disclosing it to the police without a warrant or s29 notice? No problem. ;-)
