Any commercial or voluntary organisation that delivers services either on
behalf of a public body or in conjunction with a public body is likely to
get roped into their data sharing practices. For example, those that
deliver services involving children are increasingly expected to join the
scheme for flagging any concerns (whose name I can never remember). And
what about the provision of passenger data by airlines to the US - and
presumably other - governments? Or housing associations which take people
off the local authority waiting list? Insurance and financial companies
which share data with each other for fraud prevention?
It goes on all the time.

Subject: Information Sharing Code of Practice
> You may remember that I was interested in this code and its application

>
> BEGINS:
> One of the main motivations for the creation of the Code of Practice was
> to address the increase in data sharing which is currently taking place
> by bodies in the public sector. However, it was also recognised that
> the sharing of personal information is becoming an ever increasing part
> of private sector activity. With this in mind, the Code of Practice has
> been purposely written so that it can be used by both public and private
> sector bodies to establish their own personal information sharing
> procedures.
> ENDS

> The question I have for us all is "Under what circumstances would we
> envisage data being shared by the private sector with other
