You do this for new people by altering the description of the form where you collect the data. For existing members of the database you need to notify them of your desire or intent to pass the data on. You say "Have to". Precisely how mandatory is this? -----Original Message----- From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Clementine Amawo Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 4:14 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [data-protection] Data protection policy statement on enrolment forms We have a statement on our enrolment forms where people tick a box to agree to go on our database. Part of the paragraph says that we do not pass on personal details to third parties without their agreement. we have recently become a learndirect link centre and we're also running an employment service, both of which mean we have to pass the learner's name and phone number on to these parties. How do we handle this? We can get their verbal agreement, of course, but would prefer to formalise it more. Any Ideas Thanks Clementine Amawo Information Management Officer (IT) C33 Housing Group ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 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) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 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) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
