Quote "Subject rights
The data protection act creates rights for those who have their data stored, and responsibilities for those who store or collect personal data.
The person who has their data processed has the right to:
View the data an organisation holds on them, for a small fee, known as 'subject access'.
Request that incorrect information is corrected. If the company ignores the request, a court can order the data to be corrected or destroyed, and in some cases compensation can be awarded.
Require that data is not used in a way which causes damage or distress.
Require that their data is not used for direct marketing."
Does anybody know if an individual has the right to take the MOD to court over this cock up as well?
Acording to the Imformation Comissioners Office's document at
http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documen...lain_final.pdf page 11 states we may be able to claim compensation for breaches of the act through the courts.
Any friendly lawyers out there have any ideas??
