Any business intending to share data should first consider ICO’s Data Sharing Code of Practice (the Code).
Familiarity with the Code will enable you to start to understand your obligations and restraints with regard to sharing data within the course of your business.
The guidance also provides a checklist which will assist you in the process of deciding whether or not to share data with a third party.
This blog post looks at some of the factors you may wish to consider in deciding to share information.

When dealing with systematic data sharing (where you share data on an on-going basis) the checklist states that you should consider the following questions:
