On 8 August 2022, SECAS officially received notification from the Proposer that they have decided to withdraw the Modification Proposal, in accordance with the Right to Withdraw provisions in SEC Section D5.1.
What is the issue?
DCC Service Users routinely query the DCC System to discover or validate various customer, property or meter data as part of their business processes. Queries can be generated using various identifiers, including the MPxN, address and postcode, which are all treated as personal data under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
If a DCC Service User submits a query to the DCC System with a house name and postcode, but without a unique reference, the results may return data of an unintended property due to the ‘matching postcode’ in place. The Proposer believes that could include unintended personal data, which would be a breach of GDPR.
