Title: Data protection
Post by: john m on November 05, 2018, 12:34:52 am

In the UK  apps  have informed reps from the orgs that in future, they will be reporting drivers, posting any information about jobs (details, costs, commissions), conversation with passengers, conversations with app representatives.... On social media or in printed form, to the police for possible prosecution under data protection laws.

The day an idiot driving for a living is asked to sign the official secrets act is the day snow is black.

Its not the OSA its the Data Protection act they are using saying Firstly the Fare is their data as they generated it .The commission they take is their data and the Customers data is the customers data so if you post anything to do with the fare you are contravening the DPA .I suppose if you posted "Got a job last night for £10 20 and gave no further details then all you are posting is your personal dats without attributing it to any third party .
