Estranged father's email used from unwanted family members

[AnonymousComet]

My child's father and I have been separated for a few years now. We were never married but he is on our child's birth certificate. Father's sister is in control of his emails which access childs information. This is not wanted by myself or child. Does anyone else have similar issue or know if anything can be done to stop this?
Many thanks

You can't. Fathers entitled to info, and entitled to share it with his sister if he likes.

You could ask him to restrict sister or DC could maybe speak to the school and depending on child's age they might agree.

But I'm unclear how you know exPs sister is accessing his emails? How you know she's defo looking at DCs info? Why you told DC? Or why either of you care?

There is no breach of GDPR or safeguarding. The school is required by law to give OP's ex the same information they give OP. They cannot refuse to share information with him just because OP is the main carer. He is free to share the information with his sister if he wishes. In GDPR terms, it would be described as a "personal or household activity", which means it is exempt.

This all changes once OP's daughter is 16. From that age she is entitled to decide whether her father continues to receive information from the school.

People are allowed to give others access to their email account if they wish. He could share the information with whoever he chose, not just his sister. Same as you could forward emails on to or allow friends or family to read your emails.

So sadly there's nothing you can do as it's perfectly legal for people to share their own information with anyone.

As long as his sister isn't a danger then when he has the child he can involve her in their care to an extent.

I had this with my brother. My DB went off to live in the States. I always had to use My sister in laws email to as I thought get in touch with my brother, tell him family news etc which I hated doing anyway as she was well known to be a narcissist and I’d never much liked her anyway. I didn’t ever hear from him for years which I thought strange but she just told me he was too busy to phone me or my mother but they were both ok and she said she was passing my messages on. Turns out they weren’t getting on and she didn’t show him any of my emails nor tell him I’d phoned. It was only when he left her eventually that he phoned me himself and explained what had happened. He had no idea she was keeping my emails and phone calls from him. He and I both was furious but there wasn’t much I could do. Thankfully we became extremely close after she was out of the picture. I suggest with you, that you get in touch with your daughter’s father and tell him if he doesn’t make a new private email you will not keep him updated about your daughter.

If she was unable to access his emails directly then all he has to do is forward them to her.

You can’t do anything about it.
