Data Protection Act 1998 and the Group

Wednesday, 01 October 2008  

The Information Commisioner’s Office oversees the implementation of the Act and has a flow-chart available for decision making. The Group is at present considered to be exempt as per the exclusion in Question 8 (see below) as the organisation is not-for-profit, and the data we keep on file are available on request from the Group Representative(s)

Quoted from the ICO website:

 As a not-for-profit organisation is all of your processing covered by the following descriptions?

Your processing is only for the purposes of establishing or maintaining membership or support for a body or association not established or conducted for profit, or providing or administering activities for individuals who are either members of the body or association or have regular contact with it.

Your data subjects are restricted to the processing of those for whom personal information is necessary for this exempt purpose.

Your data classes are restricted to personal information that is necessary for this exempt purpose.

Your disclosures other than those made with the consent of the data subject are restricted to those third parties that are necessary for this exempt purpose.

The personal information is not kept after the relationship between you and the data subject ends, unless (and for so long as) it is necessary to do so for the exempt purpose.
