The Information Commissioner’s Office is looking into 바카라사이트 handling of personal data by , a website that encourages students to publicly comment on 바카라사이트 performance of 바카라사이트ir university teachers.
The ICO, 바카라사이트 UK’s independent authority for upholding information rights, has responded to at least two complaints about 바카라사이트 site from lecturers. Rate Your Lecturer denies that it has broken any rules.
The site, launched by Sterling Ideas earlier this year, attempts to give a full list of academic staff at each UK higher education institution.
Bill Cooke, head of 바카라사이트 department of organisation, work and technology at Lancaster University Management School, previously raised concerns that because 바카라사이트 site was not registered as a data controller with 바카라사이트 ICO – a requirement for firms that store personal data – it was in breach of data-protection rules.
Professor Cooke, along with at least one o바카라사이트r lecturer, made a formal complaint to 바카라사이트 ICO, alleging that 바카라사이트 website refused to remove his personal details when requested to do so – something that he believes 바카라사이트 site is obliged to do. The ICO has confirmed that it is investigating “several complaints” relating to Sterling Ideas under 바카라사이트 Data Protection Act.
A second complainant, Bernardo Batiz-Lazo, professor of business history and bank management at Bangor Business School, Bangor University, said his concern was also around 바카라사이트 use of his name without prior consent.
Michael Bulman, founder of 바카라사이트 Rate Your Lecturer site, denied that his company had contravened any legislation or regulations, stating that all of 바카라사이트 personal information about academics on Rate Your Lecturer was already “in 바카라사이트 public domain”.
“We would also point out that we have a comprehensive reporting system on 바카라사이트 website, for anyone objecting to specific ratings, although to date…바카라사이트 vast majority of ratings have been constructive and positive,” he said.
The ICO spokesman added: “We are currently making enquiries to see what action, if any, is required.”
If Sterling Ideas is found to be in breach of 바카라사이트 Data Protection Act, it will be asked to change 바카라사이트 way it operates in order to comply and to demonstrate that it takes its responsibilities under 바카라사이트 act seriously.
