Why You Must Not Reuse Results for a Different Purpose

A result returned for one purpose should not be reused for another purpose just because it is convenient.

Why reuse is a problem #

• The original context no longer matches the new use case.
• The search may not have been lawful or appropriate for the second purpose.
• It weakens traceability and undermines internal controls.
• It can create unnecessary compliance risk for your organisation.

Example: An employment-related result should not automatically be reused for credit decisioning.
