In this case whether they disclose or not, the welfare of the dog is
paramount - if it's happy and well cared for after all this time it
should stay where it is. The original owner obviously didn't make many
enquiries. If I lost mine one of the first things after notifying the
police would be to notify the 'chip' people incase they were contacted
by any one. I guess that rescue centres scan for a chip if they have
dogs that were strays - or supposed strays

Subject: Re: [data-protection] Dogs, Owners and Privacy
It is far from clear that Anibase's claim that they are legally
restricted from disclosing is correct. It looks to me like a Condition 6
question turning on whether disclosure would cause unwarranted prejudice
to the new keeper e.g. by exposing him to a civil claim for return of
the dog.
However since even condition 6 is only permissive, the attempt to compel
disclosure was clearly doomed to fail.
Their stance however looks not unreasonable. Decline to disclose = no
comeback. Disclose = risk of a complaint by new keeper, and possible
compensation claim if loss is suffered, with no certainty that ICO would
uphold decision to disclose based on condition 6.
A few years back we adopted a 'stray' cat. It was found to be chipped
when we took it to vet for a check-up . It was all resolved amicably (we
kept the cat) but the interesting point was the vet claimed to be
entitled to keep the cat for the 'real' owner. That would have been an
interesting battle ...
