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.

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.
