Purpose of the data protection act
Another important factor that companies and businesses must take into consideration in relation to the purpose of the data protection act that they hold is that it can not be supplied to others without the express agreement of the individual concerned. Plus in the UK none of this information can be transferred to any country outside of the European Union unless a certain exemption applies. This also means that any information a company or business holds on a certain individual can not be published on the internet.
