What is personal information?
Personal information is information about you. It can be your name, address
or telephone number. It can also be the type of job you do, the things you buy
when you are shopping and the place you went to school.

Unit Test 1
Why is managing my personal information important?
Today, like it or not, our personal information is held by many public and
private organisations. These may include:
government departments
banks and building societies
gas, electric, phone and internet service providers
supermarkets and high-street retailers
employers
hospitals and doctors
mail-order and internet companies
the police
schools
airlines and travel agents
local councils
What is my personal information used for?
Although most of the personal information stored about you will provide
benefits like better medical care and financial reassurance, it also brings
dangers. If your personal information is wrong, out of date or not held
securely, it can cause problems. You could be unfairly refused a job, benefits
or credit, or a place at college. In extreme cases, you could be a victim of
identity theft or arrested for a crime you did not commit.
(extract taken from Personal Information Toolkit, 2007, published by the Information
Commissioners Office)
Example:
Personal information includes details of where you live. T
33 Personal information includes information about your family.
34 Some people do not like organisations holding their personal information.
35 The leaflet lists all the organisations that hold your personal information.
36 Private organisations are not allowed to hold personal information.
37 Social networking sites store your personal information.
38 Personal information is not kept by shops.
39 Utility companies hold your personal information.
40 On balance, storage of your personal information is likely to be positive for
you.
41 If your personal information is wrong, your doctor could refuse to treat
you.
