Summary: The main aim of data protection legislation is the achievement of balance between the interests of the individual against the power of the information age, in order to give individuals control over the 'data image' held about them. But, many of the law's requirements conflict with the natural uses of IT. This book approaches data protection from three angles; the context in which data protection should be viewed, the content of data protection laws and data protection from the compliance perspective. In addition to key elements of the Data Protection Act (DPA) the influence of other supporting pieces of legislation are explained. It provides practical guidance on how managers and companies should go about the business of protecting data privacy against the wider backdrop of the DPA, human rights laws and freedom of information legislation.
