3.3
|
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in paragraph 3.2.2
permits a data user to collect a copy of the identity
card of an individual:
|
3.3.1 |
merely to safeguard against any clerical error
in recording the name or identity card number
of the individual;
|
| |
|
| Note:
|
For example,
while the ID card number of an individual may be
recorded upon his admission to a building, his ID
copy should not be taken. |
| |
|
| |
or |
| |
|
| 3.3.2 |
merely in
anticipation of a prospective relationship between
the data user and the individual. |
| |
|
| Note: |
For example,
while it may be justifiable for an employer to obtain
the identity card number of a job applicant say
for checking it against those of previous unsuccessful
applicants , no ID copy should be collected until
the individual is successfully recruited. |
