Data Protection Act 1984 The 'Data Protection Act 1984' (DPA) is a British Act of Parliament that provides a legal basis for the privacy and protection of data of UK citizens and businesses. Data disclosed by a party to another party may only be used for the specific purposes it was disclosed for. The data can only be kept for an appropriate length of time and must not be disclosed to other parties (without consent of data owner). The Act provided for a regulatory authority, the Data Protection Registrar, to oversee implementation of and adherence to the Act. Schools can not keep information about someone after they left school for any longer than ten years It was followed up by the Data Protection Act 1998, actually an implementation of European Union Directive 95/46/EC which, amongst other measures, expanded the remit of the DPR and renamed the position to the Data Protection Commissioner.
Continuous Data Protection refers to backup of computer data by automatically saving a copy of every change made to that data, essentially capturing every version of the data the user saves. It allows the user or administrator to restore data to any point in time.
