Filedrop must be used for:
- Transfer of personal identifiable data like passports, driver’s licences, etc. In other words, the sort of data that could easily be used for identity fraud.
- Transfer of bulk privacy data, e.g. large microdata sets
- Transfer of special category information e.g. medical notes, sickness records If in doubt, send via Filedrop.
Why use Filedrop for this data?
Filedrop transfers personal data securely, and to only the person you are sending it to. If you transfer personal data via email, it is like sending it on a postcard. This can be intercepted.
By using Filedrop, you are using a much more secure route for transferring this data.
