Hi all
I'm after opinions about screening companies that use publicly available
information, for example - entering a surname and address into a piece of
software that then matches that data against other publicly available
information that will then give you a profile.
My feeling is that this is a clear use of personal data and the subjects
should be notified, but am having trouble convincing others. Their argument
is that all the information is in the public domain so there is no invasion
of privacy.
Any thoughts welcome.
Thanks
