I've always taken the view that 'real' data should not be used for testing purposes and the ICO states “live data should not be used except where absolutely unavoidable". (Unfortunately I cannot recall where this came from). I know this makes testing all scenario's harder and the legitimate purpose may be ok for the short term but not post GDPR (as I understand it)
However if you have consent/included it in your privacy notice etc. this may be ok .

Subject: [data-protection] Training Database
Hi all
I've just found out that our IT section use a 'live to test' copy of one of our databases for training purposes. They train new users of the software using a test database which has been copied from the live database.
Any thoughts on this? How do staff in your organisations train on software, does something similar happen?
Kind Regards
Kate
