Legal authority to act on someone’s behalf
Data may be shared where another individual or organisation has the legal authority to act on someone’s behalf, for example where a Power of Attorney, Court of Protection order, or other legal authority is in place.
Consent provided via an organisation
An organisation may share data with VRS where it has obtained the individual’s consent to do so on their behalf.
