The Data Protection
Act 1998 requires organisations who collect and use personal data
to register as data controllers with the Data Commissioner, and
to comply with a set of principles and a code of practice on how
to store and use the data held. For arts organisations, data held
from ticket bookings and used for marketing and fund raising purposes
are areas of concern, and the legislation has meant changes in practices.
The person whose
data is held (the data subject) has the right to see the information
held on them and to opt out of mailings.
