... Data Protection Act The data protection act serves many purposes. For example, many databases contain personal information about us, information we would expect to be kept private. Information such as our age, personal family details, medical records, financial data and our political or religious beliefs is not expected to be freely available to anyone. The act was introduced to control the technological ability to transmit data and to protect people's right to privacy. A person, organisation that wants to hold personal information must register with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner. The basic principles of the Data Protection Act state that Personal Data must: * Be processed fairly and lawfully. * Be obtained for specified and lawful purposes. * Be adequate, relevant and not excessive for the purpose. * Be accurate and up-to-date. * Not be kept any longer than necessary. * Be processed within the rights of data subjects. * Be kept secure against loss, damage and unauthorised
