With regard to the 'Universal Jobmatch' scheme, the DWP does stress in it's Terms & Conditions that every effort shall be made to comply with Data Protection legislation. Then there is this...
"The pensions ombudsman, the official body that looks into complaints about pension schemes, decided to launch an investigation after receiving a complaint of "maladministration causing injustice" from a member of the scheme. But EMC challenged the ombudsman's decision,
arguing the parent company fell outside the ombudsman's jurisdiction, and that any ruling would be "unenforceable"."*
The point being:No matter the promises to comply with UK legislation, the whole thing will operate outwith the jurisdiction of UK law. Just as this pension issue does.
