EVERY subject now has
the statutory
right under the
Data Protection Act, 1984, to give
the Board of Deputies forty days' notice
in writing to provide copies of all data
maintained by the Board on them, and to
require the Board to make such corrections
as the subject concerned may require. Subjects who suspect that they are being
victimised should write in the first
instance by Recorded Mail to the Research
Unit, Board of Deputies of British Jews,
marking their letter for the attention of
Michael Whine, Director, Research Unit,
Commonwealth House, 1 - 19 New Oxford
Street, London WC1A 1NF. If the Board
refuses to give satisfaction within forty
days, the subject should then complain in
writing to the Registrar
of the Data Protection
Agency,
Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow,
Cheshire SK9 5AF; the agency has statutory
powers to search and seize databases in
the event of non compliance with the
Act. |
