    The KADOE contract was born prior to the new GDPR

    Interesting point - at work many of the procurement contracts we have with the UK Government have had to be updated to reflect GDPR. I wonder if KADOE will similarly need to be updated to reflect GDPR...

    KADOE contract

    B2.4. The Customer shall hold the Data on only one database and shall not copy the Data nor link it to another database without the prior written permission of the DVLA.

    The customer being the PPC

    The PPC transfers data to a DC who often pass it on to another DC

    Is this with the permission of the DVLA

    I have been receiving emails from companies whom I have not had any dealings with for up to 10 years (2008 in one case) - with privacy policies etc - some even giving me the option to "delete all personal data" held by them - they are obviously concerned about GDPR.

    However one company who I expected to receive an email from Amazon - not even a sniff yet !

    I was wondering whether Amazon think that they are immune to GDPR or is there some other reason
    Have any of you - received a GDPR email from Amazon yet ?

    Not yet but if you are a current customer they don't have
    to, according to the ICO on breakfast TV today

    It beggars the question ... does anyone know what they
    are doing with GDPR ?????

    Nope - it's open to interpretation so expect a few lawsuits before the dust settles :)

    If it was soft consent (TIck here to be added) then there is no need to get consent again.

    If it was already ticked or if you had to tick it to use the service then consent is required. However.....

    If that was the case they don't have permission to contact you to get your consent and the email is proof they are processing your data.

    As an amazon Customer, I do not want any more GDPR emails from Amazon, or anyone else.
    I already gave consent to Amazon when i signed up to have my email/process my data

    read this https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/21/gdpr-emails-mostly-unnecessary-and-in-some-cases-illegal-say-experts

    "Even if you are relying on consent, that still does not mean you have to ask for consent again. Recital 171 of the GDPR makes clear you can continue to rely on any existing consent that was given in line with the GDPR requirements, and theres no need to seek fresh consent. Just make sure that your consent met the GDPR standard and that consents are properly documented."


    In other words, if the business had consent to communicate with you before GDPR, that consent probably carries over, and even if it doesnt carry over, there are five other reasons a company can cite for continuing to process data.
    As for PPC land, ive noticed a new side sign added to the usual crap form Horizon at a small sainsburys, about some privacy policy
    From the Plain Language Commission:

    "The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"

    Interesting, a PPC concerned about this.

    Be interested to see the wording.

    Maybe Sainsbury's are saying that you cannot buy anything
    until you agree to the privacy policy ???

    However driving into a car park does not remotely mean
    that you have seen or read such a notice unless Sainsbury's
    require an opt-in signature at the door

    I'm such a nerd, I'm popping down to my local Aldi later to check out ParkingEye's signage...
    Also gives me an excuse for making a SAR request as their cameras pick up my car...
