Author Topic: Who are Imperial, and how much do they know about us? Why is my NOR generated and hosted by their servers?  (Read 637 times)

This is very off-piste, but I'm curious.

Does anyone know, or has anyone previously come across, a company called Imperial? (www.Imperial.co.uk) - not to be confused with the university (.ac.uk).

Looking through the NOR that got sent through to me via email, I see that the .pdf has a number of attributes that track back to Imperial.co.uk. It appears to be generated using a script or batch processing service on the Imperial servers, thus it must be generated and hosted remotely from the council systems. It also references a 'Helen Clements', who I've quickly identified as https://www.linkedin.com/in/helen-clements-50a724196/

Where on earth has my information ended up? Does the council have permission or the right to ship my personal information around like this? I havent seen their name mentioned in any correspondence.

Photo of the properties/meta data to the NOR .pdf attached, and pasted below for ease of copy. Clearly it links to an external service

Well the easy way to find out is to ask the authority's data protection officer, let them do the hard work for you.
