If they provide a service whereby they are making an assessment as to the
suitability of an employee they are definitely a data controller. As they
probably designed the form as a "catch-all" they are likely to be in breach of the
Act. Apparently the founder of the company used to work in the atomic energy
industry. That may explain some of the more obscure and irrelevant questions.
