A good thought Tim. However, we are comfortable that the customer has freely provided the authority to sanction the provision of information (we also know its in their interests to do so as the reason for the requests are to attempt to find a way to legally abstract them from their contractual liability to make payments to us). We believe that the proofs are in deference to our bank status and the "know your customer" requirements. However, we just don't apply their provided proof in our calculations as we check via our own internal processes and documentation before we issue the customer information. Do you think then, that even if we receive sufficient information, payment and authority that we should still send the data to the customer direct, not the third party? I'd be interested to know your views on this and why. Even if we declined on the basis of the DPA, we'd still have to provide it on the basis of the Section 107 of the CCA. They get us all ways......

Naive me thinks they are personal, and may even consider one to release information to a 3rd party as forced consent Clare Watts wrote: Dear List members, I'm getting increasingly concerned by the number of Subject Access Requests we receive from third party's with our customer's consent/authority. -- ________________________________ Tim Trent - Consultant Tel: +44 (0)7710 126618 web: ComplianceAndPrivacy.com - where busy executives go to find the news first personal blog: timtrent.blogspot.com/ - news, views, and opinions personal website: Tim's Personal Website <http://www.trent.karoo.net> - more than anyone needs to know Marketing by Permission <http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/MarketingByPermission/%7E6/1> Important: This message is private and confidential.
