How clear does your organisation make it at point of data collection?
I'm not arguing at all with such collection and processing of the data.
I can see the point entirely.

Subject: [data-protection] Libraries and Public Access Terminals
My local library provides free to use high speed internet access, useful
to many. I used to be able to go in, site down, and surf.
Today I went and found I need to enter my local "smartcard" details or
my library card data.
This raises an interesting set of issues, none of which were addressed
by the pre-login screen. Is what I do on these access points recorded?
if so, for what purpose? And is it recorded against my personal details?
I've asked my local council for comments. meanwhile I'd be interested
in other folk's experience as suppliers or users of free terminals in
their local libraries.
