I have recently left my current employer and are now seeking further employment. I have been registering with several job agencies some new, some that I have used before. I contacted an agency I had used in the past to resign on their books. Their response was that they felt they couldn’t represent me on this occasion due to information they had received from my previous manager. I know what information has been passed onto them. But the big issue is this information was only available during my leaving interview conducted by the HR department and my then manager. This information, as explained by HR was confidential and it was company policy not to pass this information on to any third parties.
Having now found out that it has been passed on to a third party, I need to know when I stand legally. This is highly confidential information, and could prove detrimental to me successfully seeking new employment. Is this a breach of company policy or does it come under the Data Protection Act?
