I agree with much of what has previously been said, but I would add that as
a data controller the DPA requires you to ensure that organisations with
whom data may be shared have adequate levels of security and relevant
processes in place. A protocol may be useful in both ensuring that all
parties understand their obligations and also to provide to the IC should
there be a complaint in future, for any reason.

Simon Howarth.

Subject: [data-protection] Sharing data
Three local authorities are considering purchasing together a library
system to hold lenders details. There will be one big database holding the
personal data. Whilst each authority will have its own records, the data
would in theory be available to all. Is there a need to set up a data
sharing protocol or as the purpose would be the same ie lending of
books/cds/dvds etc would this not be required.
