    Basic Legal Requirements For Data Protection

    <BR>There are 8 criteria in the Data Protection Act that have to be met. <BR>Unfortunately, I did this in ICT AS level, which was about 3 years ago, so I can't remember all of them!<BR><BR>1. You have to keep the info secure<BR><BR>2. You're not allowed to transfer the info to a country that has not got secure systems.<BR><BR>3. The info kept has to be kept with permission and knowledge of the person<BR><BR>4. It must not be made accessible to anyone else without permission except the police and / or authorities conducting a criminal investigation<BR><BR>That's all I can remember I'm afraid!<BR>Hope it helps.
