Only if you have obtained specific consent to this from the individuals concerned. You cannot assume that consent for a particular use of data extends to any other use. If you have consent to use personal data for a particular purpose and wish to use this data for another or different purpose, additional consent must be obtained from all the relevant individuals. This is especially important in relation to the publication of personal data on websites because the World Wide Web makes information globally accessible.
