The
main objective of this webpage is to
provide an
introductory resource guide to data protection and privacy in general.
Although this webpage has been running for over four years, the
subject is as relevant as it was then in the light of technological
developments. For news and developments on data protection and privacy,
see DP Thinker
Blog (created by me). Recent
developments include the UK Freedom
of
Information Act 2000, which came into force on 1st January 2005.
More details can be gleaned from the Department of
Constitutional Affairs website and the Freedom of Information Act Blog
(FOIA). The
latest annual report on data protection by Art. 29 Working Party
has been published and can be found here
(pdf) and the Data Retentions Directive 2006/24/EC and the Montreux
Declaration has been included in the "Core Resources"
section. For
information
about guidance, policy issues, position papers on data protection,
please visit the UK Information
Commissioner's website. If
you have any
comments regarding the website or would like
to inform me of any events relating to data protection or privacy,
please use the feedback section. Finally, thank you to everyone who has visited this website and has provided some feedback. I hope you have found the resources useful! Last updated April 2007 |
