***** THIS EMAIL WAS SENT VIA THE INTERNET ***** And.....I would imagine that should any breach occur then Lloyds would have an agreement with the data processor in India that should there be a breach of the agreement then the data processor would be liable.

As far as we are concerned, the main issue is that the information that is transferred overseas continues to enjoy an adequate level of protection as if it stayed in the UK."

I just posted it in the RSS/XML feed on our site, so those of you who choose to take that service will see it when your reader refreshes. The web site caches the feed for about 60 minutes or so to avoid frequent refreshes. It will appear in HotNews (and on the home page) in the next 30 minutes or so Lloyds TSB are being challenged in the courts by the unions for data exports to India. On the face of it this is a DPA challenge, but is it really? Surely it's about jobs? No UKIC comment in the FT article, but I suppose that's understandable in case it gets to court. I think the question is: "If a data processor is under a binding contract to the data controller to comply with UK DPA (or more stringent laws) despite their locality, is the export of data, even sensitive data, against the letter and spirit of the relevant laws?".
