You would also probably find some wording about data being shared / transferred to assignees, replacements and or transferees of the above parties - the Data Controller(s). This should cover it but I would expect that the original DC would have some duty to ensure that the replacement agreed contractually to at least meet the same standards of protection offered by the original DC. Regards, Clare If you intend to send personal data to this e-mail address, please be advised that these will be used by Ford Financial, our group, their and our representatives, agents and contractors, any assignees, transferees of the above referred to parties for controller business administration, statistical analysis and management reporting and may therefore be accessed by other members of this organisation. This information may also be transferred to our group outside the EEA. If you are sending the personal data of other individuals, please ensure that you have their consent to do so and that they are aware of the uses to which Ford Financial will put these data. -----Original Message----- From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Simon Howarth Sent: 20 November 2008 16:12 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [data-protection] When a credit card is taken over by another bank ...... I would say that this is well covered from a consumer point of view, but there may differences with employees as consumers... Certainly Schedule 2 Para 6 would come into play in terms of "legitimate interests". I feel certain that there will be some allowance in company law with respect to such a transfer and as such would suspect it applies to corporate situations also.

Hi Everyone If a corporate credit card is taken over by another bank and the product changes from a Visa product to a MasterCard product then what does the company need to ensure happens from a DP perspective ? Without reading the contract with the first company I do not know if there is a clause in there saying that if an employee agrees to hold one of the credit cards and it is taken over by another bank then they are happy for their details to be passed over - or does the company need to request that employees apply to the new credit card company in order to obtain the new credit card ?? I am trying to look at this from both perspectives - The Company are obliged to switch to the new product and do not want employees inconvenienced by having their cards refused - but also they cannot just transfer all the employee data to the new company. Obviously I am recommending that many full and detailed communications need to take place to employees - but where is the law strongest ? in the take over by the other bank or in DP terms ??? Any guidance would be useful.
