Proactive Publishing Promotes Positive Perceptions

The statement; “Local Authorities may do anything” comes with an implied caveat that they can do anything as long as it is lawful. Amongst other things that also means comply with DP requirements.

Subject: Sharing Information Protocol

Morning,

I have just been give a 'Leisure Centre Membership Customer Insight Sharing Protocol' (LCMCISP) to advise on.

The objective of this protocol is to

1) Increase participation in Leisure Centres

2) Encourage payment by Direct Debit

3) Redesign Leisure Centre services.

Leisure Centre Membership data will be shared with the County Council and a Private Company (who are acting as consultants). I have (currently) not be told what information is being shared but it will, I assume, contain personal data, possibly 'sensitive' data as well. I will soon find out.

The LCMCISP states that data can be shared under the Local Government Act 2000, under Section 2 which states:-

Local Authorities may do anything , which they consider likely to achieve any one or more of the following

1) promotion/ improvement of economic well-being in their area

2) promotion/ improvement of social well-being in their area

1) promotion/ improvement of environmental well-being in their area

I would like any comments on this regarding Data Protection issues. Am I right to think this doesn't feel right. My first reactions were what does it say on the Membership Form 'Privacy Notice'?, is there 'sensitive data' involved? and not without the individuals' permission?.

Regards

Steve
