Re: [OT ish] MV1000's Dataprotection and being fined!



Not Sure, but I think this only applies to businesses.

I have looked into the DPA for a friend of mine who is a Gunsmith, if your
logging data for your own use or for clubs and organisations (non profit)
you
are normally exempt, unless you are recording financial/shopping habits.

Normally if it's business related you need to register.

Must stress, I don't know alot about this. But also 1st Page of the pdf
last
paragraph reads:

"If you use a CCTV system in connection with your business..."

I think this was also discussed on a previous thread a couple of months
ago.
