Are organisations allowed to pass on my personal information to other organisations?
Organisations must ask you whether you are happy for information about you to be passed on to other organisations for direct marketing purposes. Normally this is done by means of a tick box when the organisation collects information about you and will be next to a sentence along the following lines, “Please tick here if you do not want information about you to be passed on to other organisations for direct marketing purposes.” If you do not want information about you to be passed on to other organisations for direct marketing purposes, you should tick the box. This question could also be asked orally over the telephone. Organisations are not allowed to pass on your email address or your mobile phone number for text (SMS) messages to other organisations for direct marketing purposes unless you have given your express consent. Organisations can pass information about you to other organisations without asking your permission for certain purposes, for example, fraud prevention.
