The Data Protection Act - ? Gone mad?
May 18th, 2008
There was an interesting article doing the rounds earlier this week.
Some councils are making couples sign a “fake” wedding register for the traditional wedding photograph.
This is on the grounds that other couples who have got married previously and who’s details show in the book would have privacy invaded.
The full story is here but we always thought a marriage is public (so people can go and object if they want to).
The information is publicly available for a specified period beforehand.
Maybe another case of the Data Protection going over board?
