I’ve received a copy of the Data Processor agreement between the Minister for Social Protection and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Dated 17th Feb 2014
#PSC

The first surprising thing is that it is neither signed by either Minister nor for and on their behalf. It’s signed for and on behalf of the Departments, by officials.

The major surprise comes when you see what the Agreement actually covers. The use the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform may put the Data is very minimal.

Solely to produce “data quality reports”.

And, furthermore even those data quality reports can’t reveal any personal data to another body.

Now, the Dept of Social Protection has said the whole Single Customer View Database isn’t stored anywhere but the DPER.

Most recently I was told that by Departmental official in DSP yesterday by telephone.

But just two weeks ago the DSP told the Data Protection Commissioner that the data it supplied as Data Controller to the DPER as Data Processor was being shared widely, in a manner not covered by this agreement.

Small Aside: Data Processing Agreement between the Ministers signed & witnessed by same Officials who refused to explain a letter my client received saying it was a legal requirement to get a #PSC if you were receiving any payment.
