Ex Salford Red Devils Chief Executive who left the club towards the end of last season after two successive years of unspectacular attendances, poor player recruitment and retention and two underwhelming seasons for the club in Super League has now been accused of using email addresses from the club for use in his new job at Swinton Lions.
As of yet these are just accusations and cant be proven, nor can it be confirmed what has happened is illegal.
Several Red Devils fans have raised concerns on social media of having received emails from Swinton and Martin Vickers despite having never handed over any details or signed up for updates from the club.
It isnt the first time Martin Vickers has courted controversy after press attention focused on his switch from his job with the Council to the rugby club back in 2013: www.salfordstar.com/article.asp?id=1935 |

Can someone please bar this Muppet? He posts on numerous boards trying to stir up trouble!
It is alleged by many that Mario the same person who used to be the RL writer for the MEM. Personally, I don't think that is true!
Mario can construct proper paragraphs, use words of 2 syllabus or more, indeed write comment; all of which Neil Barker was unable to do!
Allegedly Neil was sacked by the MEN, took a job at Leigh and has attempted to spin their signing of R Chase as a masterstroke!
Also allegedly Mario deems his new role is to post the random gossip he may have used to put in the MEM on every forum he can find. Allegedly!

| Something very dodgy about Vickers, poor appointment to begin with given his history with the council. The club are well rid, although not sure taking email addresses to a new job is a crime  |

Pretty sure its a Criminal Offence under Section 55 of The Data Protection Act if its proven he took the data without consent of his previous employer.

Actually, it is a breach of the Data Protection Act which could lead to him being sacked and a hefty fine for Swinton

So how does that affect the DVLA who regularly pass on personal details to third parties without permission? Secondly how you think this can impact on Swinton is beyond me as surely if you are correct with your assumption then the perpetrator would need to be an employee of the club, wouldn't he/she? |

They can't legally. unless the data they are sharing is done so for purposes exempt under the DPA - prevention/detection of crime for instance. |

Most people understand the difference between selling and stealing. |

Admittedly, I am going off the original post from Mario which states "has now been accused of using email addresses from the club for use in his new job at Swinton Lions." and we all know how wonderfully accurate Mario a.k.a. Neil Barker was as a journalist. If he doesn't work for your club then you have no worries, but if he does work for Swinton and has been using the mailing list without permission then the Information Commissioner's Office might be paying your club a visit.
As to the DVLA you might want to check if they have an opt-in or an opt-out policy for their communications database |

Every company should have an "opt-in" policy regarding passing on personal info, adding you to mailing lists etc. I'm sick to death of being spammed and no matter how many times I ask to be taken off said mailing lists I keep getting bombarded.
One of the scourges of modern society!!! (along with those ba$tard fake profiles on Tinder!  ) |

Most do, but manipulate the wording so much, with double negatives you need to spend 10 mins on each, going through it word for word to work out where to tick or not.
I believe the DVLA is slightly different though and legislation allowed it to sell data and personal number plates ( no opt in/outs), just a scheme to make money.

o/t but to do with DVLA: possibly future privatisation and making it attractive to buyers
www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho ... 78419.html
I worry for MV if the bankruptcy order of 19/02/16 has anything to do with him as it could prevent him from action in several roles. |
