If the person has requested this from the management company, they would be crazy to give it out. It would indeed be a GDPR breach, unless the other owners had been previously advised that their details would be given out and had consented to this.Hi,
An apartment owner (not a member of the mgnt committee) has requested names and contact details of all other apartment owners / OMC members in the apartment complex. Are the committee obliged to disclose this information or would this be a data privacy / GDPR breach.

Thks for your response. That is exactly my thinking also both in relation to the data privacy issue and possible 'coup'.If the person has requested this from the management company, they would be crazy to give it out. It would indeed be a GDPR breach, unless the other owners had been previously advised that their details would be given out and had consented to this.
If the person has approached individual owners, it is up to each owner to decide. It sounds like the person is trying to build up support for a 'coup' or similar.
Might be an opportunity to get the person on board, drag them inside the tent, as it were. Management companies often find it difficult to get people to take on director roles, so there could be a new volunteer there!Thks for your response. That is exactly my thinking also both in relation to the data privacy issue and possible 'coup'.
- As mentioned above, all owners are members of the OMC. The OMC is required by law (Section 169 Companies Act 2014) to have a list of all the members. This is known as the Register of Members. It must by law contain-
- Names of members
- Addresses
- Date at which entered on the register as a member
- Date person ceased to be a member
- By law (Section 216 Companies Act) the register must be open to inspection by any member of the company without charge.
- The register must be kept at the registered office of the OMC. This could be the office of the OMC’s solicitor. It might be the management agent’s office, however this is not best practice.
- By law any member may request a copy, or make a copy, of any part of the register. An OMC must, within 10 days after the date of receipt of a request for a copy of the register, ensure it is sent to the member.
- The person responsible for providing this information is the secretary of the OMC.
No. Meeting minutes are not covered. The only GDPR angle would be if your name was mentioned.I'm still waiting for a copy - would this be a breach of GDPR?
Surely its a breach of GDPR unless there is some reason for it being asked that makes the request purposeful?Hi,
