Data Protection Act, The (2 Parts)

Synopsis
Two programmes address practical issues arising from the Data Protection Act 1998: how to collect personal information; how to rent and purchase mailing lists in compliance with the Act; what to consider when merging and acquiring databases; and how to protect a database that has been cleaned in accordance with the new legislation. Part 1 explains the main changes in the new Act and highlights the actions companies should be taking to comply with its provisions. In part 2 Sharene Tan and William King of Macfarlanes discuss factors business should take into account when using and exploiting databases for commercial activities.
