I have scenario which affects our organisation on a regular basis and I think I may beginning to over think things. So I wondered if anybody else has an opinion they would like to share?

 

An employee emails a local social club contact list from their personal email account to their corporate email account (list contains, name; address; tel no.; email address). The email has been identified on our network via automated monitoring, on key-words. The email is likely to have been sent to the original email address (Personal email) for personal use (section 36 exemption), or for official  use in connection with the club. However, my issue is about the appropriateness of this data now residing on our network.

 

Our organisation has no legal basis to process this information. Would we (the organisation) be accountable under DPA now that we are aware we have this data on our network? I intend to tell the individual to remove it from any shared area they may have filed the attachment.

 

Any thoughts?

 

 

Kind Regards

Mike
