Does anyone know the status of India with regard to the 8th principle - i.e.
do they have adequate levels of protection for the rights and freedoms of
data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data? I have been
asked to investigate the feasibility of certain departments using a typing
service which would involve the transfer of personal data to India and back,
but I'm not sure whether this is permissible or not. There is an option to
anonymise letters prior to transfer but it would be quicker and simpler to
keep certain identifiers on them.
This is something I have puzzled about at home when bombarded with phone
calls from the Far East wanting to sell me cheaper gas, electricity, phone
bills etc. etc. Have they the right to be processing my personal data over
there?
