If the member of staff means their own information (ie the member of
staff's) I would say no. If they mean the data relating to the member of the
public I would say yes.

> Dear all,

> We have had a complaint from the member of the public who says we are in
> breach of the DPA 1998 because a member of staff allegedly told them "they
> often look up their information and laugh about it".
>
> Whilst this is probably a breach of the spirit of the DPA1998, it there
> actually a section/principle that has been breached? I can only think of
> the second principle which may have been breached (data should only be
> used for what it has been collected for).
