We are in the process of agreeing to share our Council Offices with the
police, who are losing their local station.
As part of the arrangement we will have a 'shared' reception area where
police and council staff will deal with their own and each other's
'customer' queries (up to a certain point i.e. Council staff will not be
recording crimes etc).
As I understand it, when the 'police staff' deal with a Council query
(using Council data) they are simply acting as a data processor for us
or is this too complicated or do I need a data processing agreement?
On another point, our reception area is like many Council's (and Doctors
surgery's etc), where personal data is often verbally exchanged in a
public place. Do I need to consider DP/privacy issues any more than I
usually would because of the influx of a different 'customer'?
I'd appreciate any Friday thoughts.
Steve
