Flexible New Deal | New Deal Scandal: Leading Welfare Reform Concerns

We recently reported that YMCA Training is disclosing past New Deal participants personal and confidential details which they should no longer hold, to a company called QDP Services, without the New Deal participants permission.

I thought it would be best to follow up this by quoting Q D P Services‘ pledge regarding handling confidential information.

It is best to point out that QDP Services are not to blame for the data disclosure – it is YMCA Training who kept the confidential data longer than required, a breach of the Data Protection Act 1998 and then disclosed it without permission.

QDP Services, however, are accountable for the” anonymous” survey which is tracked.

General

QDP will confidentially recycle all processed questionnaires one calendar month after the final invoice is raised by ourselves unless we are asked to keep or return the questionnaires, in which case there may be an additional charge.

Confidentiality

All information exchanged by any means, by representatives of our respective organisations, will be kept confidential and shall not, without prior written consent be disclosed to any other party save for the fact that our organisations engage in commercial arrangements of the nature described in our sales literature, estimates and quotations. Nor shall this information be used or copied for any purpose without prior written consent.
