Hi all,
(firstly, thanks very much for comments on digital footprint -very helpful).
A.N.other question...
Like many organisations, we have a list of stakeholders. These include local MPs, councillors, universities and colleges, local authority Chief Execs and so on.
1. I am in the process of reviewing a privacy notice for this list. There seems to be a bit of a grey area here where someone exchanges a business card, and ...there is an expectation (by the recipient, a member of staff) that the person wants to be added to the mailing list. I say grey area because some argue that organisations can use legitimate interest for stakeholder's lists. I suspect the risk of someone complaining is very low, but I still want to make sure we have lawful basis and that the stakeholder database is GDPR compliant.
2. We have been asked by one of our stakeholder's if we will share this list. My inclination is no. If we say yes to one stakeholder, then why don't we share the list with other stakeholders?
3. I went to an interesting seminar just before May 2018 (which was largely entertainment sector - theatres and so on). I seem to remember a discussion there that it was not legitimate to trawl the internet for i) possible donors and ii) to identify potential stakeholders and then start emailing them - even though this data is in the public domain.
I feel like I am getting a bit lost inside this, but like many of you, I am the sole data protection person in the organisation so when questions arise this forum is incredibly useful
thanks + rgds
Danny
