Emphasis is placed on how the Act affects business, and how every business is required by law to implement the changes. This handbook examines : the speacial rules introduced for the processing of sensitive date, for example racial or ethnic origins ; the provisions to restrict the transfer of dta outside the UK - particularly significant given the increasing use of the Internet ; the expansion of the Act's scope to cover manual data which will have a profound effect on the way in which businesses maintain personnel files ; the implications of the Act upon privacy and human rights. Several appendices are included as well as the full tect of the Act and the regulations. Tolley's Data protection Act 1998: a Practical guide is essential reading for lawyers, information technology practitioners, human resource professionals, and anyone involved in the management of data in both electronic and non-electronic formats." - Back cover
