How would anyone feel about the following situation:
We are engaged with a reputable market research company to carry out targetted research on the expereinces of victims and witnesses. As part of this process we provide persoanl data about them to the company to facilitate contact. This is all above board and potential subjects are contacted by letter first to give them an opportunity to withdraw from consideration.
The company in question is now asking if it can use the services of a telephone number matching service to add telephone numbers to some of the subjects - the primary purpose is to increase the pool of potential subjects and the survey quality in general.
Obviously we could say that htis is nothing to do with us, but obviously the data we have provided is the basis for the search and obviously there is a certain reputational issue here.
Other than this there will be no other changes to the way subjects are contacted.
My initial inclination is that this ought to be ok, but that we should write this into our inforation ahring agreement.
