Sharing, accessing, and matching personal information - Information sharing

140: Information sharing within agencies

You could also call this:

“Sharing personal information between different parts of the same organisation”

You should know that an approved information sharing agreement can allow different parts of the same organisation to share personal information with each other. This means that if there’s an agreement in place, one part of an organisation can share your personal details with other parts of the same organisation. However, they can only do this if it follows the rules set out in the agreement. This helps to make sure that your information is shared safely and properly within the organisation.
