Thread Name: BS: Data Protection Act
Subject: RE: BS: Data Protection Act
Sorry - Yes, UK. There are rules about storing info. on people - if you have data stored, you should register as a controller of data, and anyone has the right (for a small payment) to see what you have on them.

As with many regulations, the difficulty is when protecting rights becomes bureaucracy.

We have a lot of rules here: this particular thread was the result of a letter that I found quite intimidating.
