    That being said, they should not have communicatd with you at all via PM

    Why not? had they have communicated back via the public board then it would definitely of been a breach of DPA

    (i meant they shouldnt have given the info rather than they shouldnt PM people)

    because technically they shouldn't release his personal data unless they are sure they have his consent

    now i am sure they were pretty sure the OP was related to the person somehow - but this is what happens when you dont play by the book - people kick up a fuss and you inevtiably get criticised.
