Data Protection...

Anyone here genuinely know anything about it?
Scenario: A person takes something from a room, but returns it later and it's all captured on CCTV. It's my equipment, and I am used to this happening, but have agreed to talk to this person.
Now, several heads of departments demand to be told the name of this person, so they can have a stern word with him.
Does Data Protection protect this person from being named to people that don't need to know? This person occasionally works for the different departments. He didn't steal anything, he merely borrowed it.
Basically, I want to deal with this without telling the different Heads, but they're demanding me to tell them. Trip to HR?
Cheers

It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

If in doubt, blame Wiggle.
I'm liking Angry Birds response, that's been my thinking so far

Do you work at a university OP?
If the council uses voting records to track down the name of a non-payer of council tax then that is a DP issue bevause the purpose of the voting info was to vote and it is being mis-used.
jeez :roll:

Well, we've been ordered to give the name out by people higher in the food chain. There's an absolute which hunt for this person now, he's going to be "Spoken to" by several people. I've pointed out that this happens all the time, so it's unfair to deal with this one person like this, but hey, I'm a mere voice in the crowd of angry people.
Cheers everyone, Clank had the best answer though

Apparently taking a small soundcard from a Mac Lab isn't the same as taking a guitar amp out of a studio. MADNESS!

Snugs is at your uni and is a thief?
Tried that stunt in my cell, and I'd have broken your fingers.
....and neither would you have been the first.

To be fair, employees of university's and schools are so far divorced from reality that I can understand how seriously they take this grave issue.
