I just added a basic pop up on the website, after all its only for a online presence and on the contact form i have a little bit of info explaining what i do with the info. the lawyer talking at a network event i went to said that people would struggle to make claims for mishandling of data if they contact you for a quote or to do a job, as its implied consent. if you of course flog there details that is something different, if in course of the work you say you are going to get the plumber to contact them, they say great, then again its verbal implied consent for the number to be passed to the plumber. a lot of companies are over stressing this new law.
the information commissioner even came out and said people are going overboard. he compared it to the panic over the millennium bug
