The reason being that it is a Government initiative - joined-up services
etc. and the reason why so many public organisations need guidance on
this is that there is as yet no legal basis for using Council Tax data
although some may say there is. Also, Councils, Police and NHS will be
sharing data and you can imagine there is some very sensitive data so we
must get it right.

Subject: Re: ICO Data Sharing Code of Practice
Tim,
I agree that it has a "public organisation" bent to it, however my
experiences of creating these types of documents over the past 6 or 7
years makes me believe that whilst it's not perfect, it does help to
clarify the content required from such a document and the guidance I
think translates well for private sector work. Certainly it will be a
valuable tool for those creating data sharing agreements for
business-business data transfers.
I suppose that the lean towards public bodes may be a function of the
fact that public bodies are possibly the most vocal in requesting ICO
guidance on this matter. I know my clients in the public sector have
been so; as whilst the "loosing" or mismanagement of sensitive medical
records (for example) is seen as far worse by the public at large than
XYZ Corp doing the same with a mobile phone account (rightly or
wrongly).
Simon.

Subject: Re: [data-protection] ICO Data Sharing Code of Practice
I've read this through, and I may be missing something, or several
somethings, but I have gained the "impression" that this is designed for
public bodies. However it is not worded in such a way that it only
refers to public bodies, despite everything in it appearing to be.
I'm about to ask for definitive guidance, but, before I do, has anyone
else?
