    My guess is that there may have been an oversight in the contract for the building work regarding noise. Closing even a small site for the guts of a month could easily cost €1000/day, probably more tbh.

    Waiter. Chef we'd a compliant about the meal.
    Chef. Which meal?
    Waiter. Cant tell you GDPR :rolleyes:

    In your example both chef and waiter work for same company, in OP's case and in my example, they don't, maybe you need to brush up on your GDPR?

    I'm assuming the principal asked the invigilator to point out the students who complained. Invigilator had data (complaints) and gave that data with identification to a 3rd party without consent. That's a breach.


    In that case my colleagues breach GDPR every day when they pass on “data” about other people in the workplace without their consent! 😂

    “Let me tell you who Mary went on a date with last week....!”

    Your colleagues have too much time on their hands and aren't worked hard enough. And HR would have a field day with them if Mary complained.

    True that!

    Still, I can’t imagine a world where kids in a school would complain about something or someone but nobody could pass on the complaint because of GDPR! The world’s gone mad enough without encouraging this sort of thing!

    It's not the complaint, it's the identification that's the issue. The invigilator has strict rules from SEC and let's say for example a student saw another student cheating and secretly told the invigilator, the invigilator shouldn't tell the principal anything, to use an analogy, in this case the invigilator told the lad who was cheating, who it was grassed him up.

    Now that you mention it, i remember doing exam aide one year and being told by invigilator that we had to tell the caretaker to turn off the radio as the songs could be used by students to cheat , same goes for any posters, signs or symbols in any room they do it in.

    And HR would tell her politely to get a life! GDPR is about business entities, not private individuals and it refers to how said entities deal with the data they retain.

    Voluntary schools are not businesses and they are subject to GDPR, so are GAA, residents associations etc...

    Why don't you show which article has been circumvented here instead of shouting out GDPR violation in every post? After all you seem to be the only one imagining it.

    How about starting a gdpr thread.

    Where are you finding these “strict rules”? I can’t seem to see them in the SEC handbook...

    Enough with the GDPR side-issue, thanks; if anyone is sufficiently interested, please start a thread in the Legal Issues forum here.
