Certainly in my view they will need to register with the ICO.
So far as FPN is concerned however the position is far from black and
white. They will no doubt argue strongly that FPN only needs to be given
"so far as practicable" and that is not the case for such activities.
They would then need to demonstrate fairness in other ways - source of
the data, what FPN's were given by original holders, no incompatible
purpose etc.

"If councillors and council officers are to be held to account, the
press and public need access to the information that will enable them to
do it. If town halls want to reduce the amount they spend on responding
to freedom of information requests they should consider making the
information freely available in the first place."

Subject: Re: [data-protection] Screening companies using publicly
available information
That something is in the public domain does not necessarily entitle
another organisation to process it without notifying the ICO, unless
exempt from that notification.
As an example, my email address on my blog is published and thus in the
public domain. But I prohibit, insofar as I can do so, its use by
harvesting or adding otherwise to mailing lists, or use in spam.

Hi all
I'm after opinions about screening companies that use publicly
available information, for example - entering a surname and address into
a piece of software that then matches that data against other publicly
available information that will then give you a profile.
My feeling is that this is a clear use of personal data and the
subjects should be notified, but am having trouble convincing others.
Their argument is that all the information is in the public domain so
there is no invasion of privacy.
Any thoughts welcome.
Thanks
