Telecommunications (Lawful Business Practice) (Interception of Communications) Regulations 2000

UK | Active
In addition to the exceptions in RIPA itself, the Lawful Business Practice Regulations set out further exceptions where, in connection with the carrying on of a business, an interception will not contravene RIPA. These exceptions will be particularly relevant to employers. They set out the circumstances in which a business is authorised to carry out an interception for the purpose of running its business.The regulations are designed to meet the legitimate needs of businesses to manage their information systems, making use of the capabilities of modern communications technology, but in a way that is consistent with high standards of privacy. It must be remembered though that they are not exemptions from the Data Protection Act.
