How can the RFL have the personal information of the club season ticket holders. I have not been asked to provide any personal information to the RFL. I would hope the club has not breached the DPAct, by giving out personal information without that person’s permission.
Just saying.
Sorry but you are a bit off there. If the organisation being used is sub contracted by the parent company to supply a service they are well within there right to furnish them with any relevant info required to facilitate the service. A third party clause may well be in any small print though in this case as it’s only an additional service from a reputable organisation I doubt it’s needed. The RFL may be criminally incompetent but they are not criminals!
In this case I’ve no idea what that level of info is tbh. The sub contractor is the one legally obliged to do nothing further with that info.
When you book an overseas holiday your data is shared with numerous third parties to allow it to happen, ditto many others, trade would cease otherwise.
Data protection is there to stop the sale and misuse of data, not the total use.
The RFL who are offering the service are well within there rights to know where it’s going as they to need records. However I would imagine this transaction possibly only requires a phone number or e-Mail address so hardly a breach.
I’m not an expert on this particular type of transaction but utterly harmless would be my opinion. Now recorded phone calls from Amazon, ow you are talking.
HTH, it’s how I’ve always read data protection, others may know more.
