How does the Data Protection Act 1998 apply to or impact on information held on e-PIMS?
Information held on e-PIMS about Landlords is exempt from the Data Protection Act. Where the names of individuals appear on the database, these are provided for contact purposes only. The information held on each contact name is limited to a correspondence address, telephone and fax number and e-mail address where available. Departmental contacts will be taken from the OGC Departmental contact database which individual users of OGC services should have been previously notified of the information being retained and its possible use. User accounts for e-PIMS will be managed by OGC in collaboration with the Authorised Signatory from each Department subscribing to the database.
