The company will be able to identify the person. Noone else will be able
to - unless they have access to the company database.

I don't quite follow this. If you have someone's postcode and the name
of the company they work for, how do you put those 2 pieces of
information together to identify a living individual?

Afternoon All,
I think the original question was whether post codes are personal data
or not. In the circumstances posed, I'd say yes. Part b of the
definition includes the concept of a person being identified by the data
controller using other information. I'm the only person within my post
code who works for my employer and I suspect this is the case for many
workers. The post code is data: combine this with the information that I
work for X, the data controller X presses buttons and says "Ah; that's
that ******* Doherty."

Well, I suppose if one doesn't want communications from an employer then
there is always an option of working for oneself.
It is considered usual in one way or another for employers to want to
communicate with their staff.
Clearly this is not to be abused and if an employer was to send out
frivolous material this would not be in the interest of the employer.
I would be interested to know whether you give the same advice from your
consultancy as you do in this Discussion Group - which generally seems
to be
whatever is proposed that you can't.
