"Naming & Shaming" would seem to conflict with the DPA - any ideas on
how it actually fits in?:
The Government intends Publishing the names of fathers who do not pay
support to their children, on the Internet, to "name and shame" them.
How does this fit into the Data Protection Act?

Similarly our local Metro Transport company publishes fare defaulters to
"name and shame" them.
Can we "name and shame" payment defaulters to our organisation?
Can anyone clarify the relevant legislation?
Thanks
David Blewitt.

This is always difficult.
My preference would be to give a definition - in nice simple terms - if
such exists for 1(1)(e) (!) - accompanied by some solid examples. As
there aren't that many (?) - are there any? - the examples should be
pretty meaningful.
The other approach would be to ignore it altogether - especially if
there aren't any current, widespread, examples.

Subject: [data-protection] The obligations about unstructured personal
data
Hi,
I am doing a little work on DPA, revising our policy actually.
It has not been revised for far too long. I have been reviewing the
changes brought about by FOI (Section 68, 69 and 70)
I am trying to construct an understandable set of content.
The new Section 1(1) (e) - recorded information not covered by (a) to
(d) is where I am looking to put together something simple.
Can I please ask you to help me in doing a reality check, my new
statement (for non DPA kinda folk!) in the policy will read something
like
"unstructured personal data falling within 1 (1)(e) of the Data
Protection Act 1998 does not have to be disclosed if it falls outside of
the 18 hours FOI rule. Please seek advice from the Council's Compliance
Manager should you believe any subject access request meets this
criteria".
I fear this is too simple, but seek your views.
Regards
Paul
