Dear list, Just checking my understanding. If all of my marketing activities are focused on, say the Republic of Ireland, my database will hold lots of information about Irish citizens. My marketing activities are carried out from sunny Cambridge, so I am a UK data controller. If an Irish citizen complains about my marketing activity, or wants to opt of direct marketing etc. would they use individual rights afforded them under UK National law (DPA 1998, Part II Section 11), or would they seek rights afforded them under Irish law (DPA 1988)?
