im so glad you asked me this you have reminded me of a visit to a council location recently. A private company obo the council were inputing car number plates onto a tablet. When I queried the use I got response whether the car was registered to use the council site, the council database gave a three stage response. When I queried "how are you processing my data", i was shown the tablet and i was presented with a screen full of number plates which been processed. What i was shown was other peoples data and how it had been processed which breaches the data protection act maybe principles 1, 2 and 7, Clearly the system and tablet application was not fit for purpose and the staff using it were not trained.
Bet you felt a little pelvic sorcery from that.0 -

You are utterly wrong. I queried once, with the ICO, if my numberplate and details could be processed by third parties and they replied they saying they could.
I trust their judgment over yours.0 -
Where do you go with posts like the OP?
Say what most others (if not all) are thinking and the MSE police start handing out warnings.
I would sympathise with OP to be nice to all moneysavers but then people would start thinking there is something wrong with me. If I was to say that the OP needs to get a hobby then I would be waiting on my red card from the MSE police.
I'll probably just say goodbye to everyone now as I'll most likely be banned later.0 -
