With regard to sponsored students, we only disclose information about their
progress/results to their sponsor with their permission. However, is there
any objection to the disclosure to a particular sponsor of the names of
students they have sponsored. The Sch 2 condition would be that it is for
the purpose of legitimate interests pursued by us without prejudice to the
rights of individuals as the sponsor will already have the information (in
their financial records somewhere). It seems bizarre to disclose the info
because the sponsor has not kept records in a way that they can be retrieved
in a form they want easily ( to encourage their employees to continue
studying apparently) but somewhat paranoid for dp to be used not to disclose
in these circs. What do you think?
