Dear Lyndsey
I recently contacted the Office of the Information Commissioner with
regard to Cloud storage; they forwarded the following link with
particular emphasis on Chapter 5:
http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/guidance_index/~/media/documents/library/Data_Protection/Detailed_specialist_guides/personal_information_online_cop.ashx
[2] http://www.ico.gov.uk/
I found this helpful - I hope you do too!
Best regards
Catherine Mackay
