Thanks everyone for your responses.
I will "wind my neck in" a bit with this. After discussion all that is being required is to show who is covering over the Christmas period. I am happy to share that amount of info as when I am not in work I shall be at home so it is not a thieves charter.
However should I be asked to share my leave data on a regular basis I will refuse.
Thanks for all the advice as ever.
Chris

Subject: Re: [data-protection] Sharing of annual leave details acrossorganisations
I think I would ask them why they want the details and what they intend to do with them rather than refusing outright. It is possible they have a reason you would find acceptable, in which case it becomes a good basis for reminding them about limited purposes of processing, further processing etc. If they don't have a good reason, you can still use it for training purposes!
All the best

Good morning all
My job role means I support 2 external organisations who I share my time with. When I am on annual leave my role is covered by a colleague. One of the 2 external agencies has now requested that they can see details of my annual leave, when I am going to be off work. They have not stated why they need this info.
I am very reluctant to allow this information to flow externally. I take this to be personal information and as my work is being covered when I am on holiday it shouldn't matter who is covering it. There also has been no mention of a data sharing agreement.
Am I being paranoid ir obstructive by not sharing this? I can't help thinking why do you need this info.
Regards
Chris
