Has anyone managed to boil down the 98 Act to a single side of A4 saying what people (i.e. academics, administrators and students) can and can't do in relation to processing personal data? I know the Principles are the essence of the Act, but they need a lot more explaining than one sheet of A4 can provide. Any examples would be much appreciated. IN REPLY! I circulated this last week as a memory jogger it is by no means comprehensive, but it does provoke discussion. Sorry - in WORD only. <<The New Data Protection Act 1998 - circular.doc>> Fiona Campbell IT Team Principal
