I seem to recall that the Commissioners guidance includes promotion in the interpretation of marketing. It is taken to apply not just to the offer for sale of goods or services, but also to the promotion of an organisation’s aims and ideals. PR and Press Releases - definitions: 1.the selective deployment of information to the benefit of a person or organisation's reputation or objectives. 2.late 20th centuary manifestation of comparative philosophy that questions the absolute value of truth. 3. the art of bullshit. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at : - http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
