    Just had my first response to a data access request.

    The only requirement they met was that they responded.

    They responded to my email with an attachment that contained a copy of a pcn the appeal I wrote, some pictures and the reply to the appeal, which I won.

    Nothing as to why they had the information still after I won the appeal, nothing about who they shared the information with (i know they previously shared/sold my information with Mil Collections and debt recovery plus). Nothing about how long they would keep the information for. Like I said they met the requirement to respond and nothing more.

    Spook - then you need ot complain to theICO, as you have evidence their response is incomplete

    A5TEH - you seem to htink they need consent to get your data. They dont. The DCA is merely a processor and the DVLA is entirely fine with them as long as they are still an agent.

    Most people are confused by GDPR. After watching many
    so called experts on TV, it's still not clear apart from the
    fact that companies simply cannot pester you except
    companies like your bank, subscription services that you
    have opted in or you have a contract with.

    It's the contract part regarding parking companies which
    on this forum is of interest.

    The so called contract is when entering a car park you
    become liable to a fee if you break the rules but I have
    yet to see any signage that states that by breaking the
    contract, you opt-in to your data being passed to a third
    party ... IE Debt collectors ?

    POFA 2012 and the CoP, came into force for an
    unregulated industry and I assume it complied to
    the Data protection at the time .....
    The CoP allows data to be given to debt collectors
    but, does GDPR allow this to happen ?

    Contracts with real financial institutions mainly have
    a clause that advises customers of their rights and
    that they use collection agents and so that will
    continue.
    This is a regulated industry

    Private parking companies and the ATA's are not
    regulated

    The new government CoP to which we currently know
    very little about clearly must comply with the new GDPR
    If not, we will be back in the same old farce

    Surely there is an issue with the fact that the DCA is a third party who does not have any direct rights of access to the DVLA's database (unlike the Parking Management Company who orginally accessed / requested the data originally), so therefore has been passed or obtained the data without the vehicle owners consent? Surely one of the two - PMC or DCA is in breach?

    Add in to that situation that only the driver could ever agree to their details being processed and it is the keepers details that are processed to the debt agencies.

    The PPC will never be able to claim that using a vehicle enables the driver to give consent to the keepers details being processed but the PPC.

    Even though the PoFA gives the legal basis for the keeper being liable the PPC are often found to have not been compliant with it (PoFA). So they are opening themselves up to a claim to the ICO every single time they issue a ticket. Every time they themselves up hold an appeal, every time POPLA up holds an appeal where the keeper was not the driver and the PPC are aware they don't comply with the PoFA (NTK etc) they have processed that data illegally.

    Again: the DVLA does NOT USE CONSENT as the basis for giving data about RKs out. Never has, and does not need to now

    GDPR does NOT change that, at all

    We are aware of that ..... we are talking about 3rd party
    access to data

    And that I agree with . Scary for PPC's but that would make
    the IPC/IAS prone to decline ALL appeals to safeguard their members
    against ICO fines

    DCA arent a third party, they are an agent of hte data controller (the operator) acting as a data processor

    Given the intial data was obtained without consent, what makes you thin they need consent to process it in ways expressly allowed for in the KADOE contract?

    The KADOE contract was born prior to the new GDPR
