    oooh, like a business giving someones personal details to a director who uses it for his own purposes?

    That's illegal

    ''If a person has obtained personal information illegally it is an offence to offer or sell personal information''.

    That really is interesting.

    Coming from a completely different angle - what if someone gives their personal information freely, but was misled in doing so?
    Is that also an offence?

    Such as - if Dirk asked for my home address to send me some 'stuff' about hair growth products ... but then he actually passed my address onto a marketing company so I end up with loads of junk mail (and I never get the hair info) - would he have committed an offence?

    I really couldn't comment on the punishment for such an offence

    I reckon it would be a fine.
    Possibly 5 figures?

    I'd take a stand against this sort of thing
