<p>The arrangements governing the release of Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
data aim to strike a balance between protecting personal data and allowing vehicle
keepers to be contacted by those with a legitimate need to do so.</p><p>The law allows
the DVLA to release vehicle keeper details to third parties who can demonstrate that
they have a reasonable cause to receive it. The DVLA operates a range of safeguards
to protect personal data and to ensure it is used appropriately, including regular
audits.</p><p>The fees levied for the release of data are intended to recover the
full cost of providing the information, so that the DVLA neither profits at the expense
of customers nor makes a loss which taxpayers must then subsidise.</p>
