Who actually owns the data recorded on your digi card■■?
At my current employer we have around 70 drivers just at this depot & every driver has their own workers login id & password to tachomaster, we cant edit or change anything its just read only.
My previous employer also used tachomaster but im locked out of seeing the data from the day i left there employment, am i entitled to view that data or does it belong to them■■?
It is less than 2 years ago so they cant say the data has been deleted as they have to keep it
Have they said that you can’t have access to it, or is it just a case of you not being able to log on to gain access.
I would say the data on your card and on the company computer could be owned by the state, but preserved by the operator for 2 years and 28 days on your card.
Roymondo:
The data is still on your card. Nothing to stop you looking at it whenever you like.
But how■■? As the only way i know is through tachomaster and that info has been locked by my previous employer
Buy a tachgraph reader, or buy a big box of tacho rolls and print every day thats still on your card, or ask if your new employer will put it on the system, why would you want it anyway?
It may not be so much a case of who owns the data, it may be an issue of who controls the data, and who processes the data. These are defined roles in the Data Protection Act 1998. Although the data may be about you, that doesn’t give you automatic instant access rights. If it is ‘personal data’ then you should be able to make a subject access request under the DPA and the data controller will have to tell you what they have on their records for you. It’ll take a few weeks probably, and they can charge reasonable expenses.
However, if it is only a copy of what’s on your card then there hardly seems any point.
