Hi!
I'm fairly new to data protection and after reading discussions from the
list for a few months I have a query of my own.
I've just had a phone call from one of our depts who have sent out
cashback forms to people using nappies. There was no indication on the
form that the peoples information (name and address) would be used for any
other reason other than getting cashback.
The dept now want to use the information to send these people an
invitation to an event where various nappy companies will be marketing
their goods.
My initial thought is 'direct marketing' but I'm not 100% sure on this
one....is the data that has been supplied personal in the first place? and
would it also breach Principle 2 if they used the info for that purposes or
would it be classed as being 'compatible with the original purpose'?
Views please!!
Thanks,
