Hi all - I've not been in touch for a long time, I hope your well
I have a new role to work on and they want to fill this ASAP, I have a full
job description if you require further information, however, in brief the
details are as follows.
1) The role now cover all areas of Information Governance.
2) We are not designated as a public body under the Freedom of Information
Act, however a recent ruling designated us as a public body for EU
Procurement purposes. So I suspect this will come onto the agenda..
3) BS7799 is now being looked at.
4) We have recently setup an Information governance forum which covers the
whole Group.
Annual Salary up to £34k(+PRP @ 4.5 %)
35 Hour Week
Flexi Time
Final Salary Contributory Pension Scheme
Look forward to hearing from you
Kind regards,
Hugo

Hmmm I'm not so sure they should be criticised for remaining grammatically
accurate, even if it does sound odd. No worse than answering the phone
"This is he" rather than the universal "Speaking" (or in my case before
9.30am ... "WHAT!").

And another thing!!!! I don't even like the title!! I know "data" is used
in the singular and in the plural, but doesn't "What are Personal Data"
sound weird; rather than "What is Personal Data".

The real issue is always context.
"What is personal data?" or "Is 'shoe size' personal data?" are not
questions that can be posed in isolation. Ignoring the word "Living" at
present, the question to be posed is "Is 'shoe size' personal data if it is
linked in some precise manner to a particular individual?"
It is relatively simple to see that 'shoe size' in isolation is not personal
data, but that "Tim Trent's shoe size is X" is personal data.

I think I understand what they are saying, and I think that they have a
point.
There are people who operate less on a clear understanding of the
legislation, and more on a fuzzy, almost incoherent set of assumptions and
instincts. They then get annoyed with people at the Commissioner's office,
when they stick to what the words in the Act (and associated
regulations)
actually say, rather than what these people want to hear. Some people seem
to fix upon concepts like privacy and confidentiality when what they should
be doing is concentrating on what the Act (and for example the Privacy and
Electronic Communications Regs) say. If all else fails, people cling to the
notion of the "spirit of the Act", which is ironic given how soulless the
DPA actually is.
I witnessed so-called experts in heated debate about what personal data is
all about, but to be honest, such debates are usually more about instinct
and assumption that hard fact. I'm not saying I'm necessarily any different,
but I don't think that there is a clear, legally-sound definition of
"personal data" around which everyone can warm their hands. If there was
one, whatever it was, a significant minority would immediately reject it as
too broad, or two narrow.
