Dear all,
 
We have had a complaint from the member of the public who says we are in breach of the DPA 1998 because a member of staff allegedly told them "they often look up their information and laugh about it".
 
Whilst this is probably a breach of the spirit of the DPA1998, it there actually a section/principle that has been breached? I can only think of the second principle which may have been breached (data should only be used for what it has been collected for).
 
Regards
Steve
