Data Breach Query

[JaxJones]

Hi.  Can anyone tell me if Royal Mail are in breach of data protection rules if they give out the franking machine registrants details. Thanks

I'm not too sure what that means but I imagine that possibly you are a company that has a franking machine and thanks its own outgoing post.

I suppose I'll have to look at the terms and conditions that you sign up to when you get a licence or whatever it is to operate a franking machine and also we would have to know the circumstances in which post office had revealed those details to a third party – including who that their party was.

Thanks for your reply.  I'm an employee of a company and used the Franking machine to send a personal letter.  It's a complicated matter.

give out the details to whom?
