Tim All those that run HEI development offices will have the same problem. There is no answer that I am aware of. The paper from CASE (published in EUROCASE) following the meeting with the DPO said that an additional paper would address this issue but I haven't seen it yet. Some time ago I asked Elizabeth France what we should do and she replied that we would need to notify the data subject that we were holding data. This is clearly impractical so we are waiting to hear what everyone else is doing! Anyone else got any advice?

The data we hold is in the public domain e.g. statistics from national newspapers. Under the DPA 1998 we are required to let individuals know if we hold their data. Obviously telling individuals that we are profiling them will make fundraising a clumsy exercise. Some sort of compromise seems in order. Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter ?
