still digging around eu directives, while the couple in the next room of the hotel keep me awake

just seen this in EU directive 95/46/EC

**************
(41)
Whereas any person must be able to exercise the right of access to data relating to him which are being processed, in order to verify in particular the accuracy of the data and the lawfulness of the processing; whereas, for .the same reasons, every data subject must also have the right to know the logic involved in the automatic processing of data concerning him, at least in the case of the automated decisions referred to in Article 15 (1); whereas this right must not adversely affect trade secrets or intellectual property and in particular the copyright protecting the software; whereas these considerations must not, however, result in the data subject being refused all information
*******

this would seem to indicate we are able to do a DPA request to get the information held in the profile if we can provide proof of our unique ID and they can't refuse it

as we are not adversely affecting their trade secrets or IP as we are not after information about the process for deciding which data to included just the information held about us

opens up a whole new avenue for investigation if it does go ahead in trail or full roll out

interesting
