With the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill at Committee Stage in the UK House of Lords, here's a round-up of what's changing with data protection in the UK.
You’ll have weaker rights to challenge how data is used and shared with less ability to find that out in the first place.
The #DPDIBill will scrap the Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner and removes the Surveillance Camera Code, impacting the oversight of the rapidly expanding use of facial recognition.
The #DataGrabBill lets UK government Ministers approve international data transfers, even if the country lacks data protection rights or remedies for data subjects.
This will make the UK data laundering hub, putting the UK's adequacy agreement with the EU at risk.
The #DPDIBill (UK) waters down the powers of the Information Commissioner's Office and exposes it to government influence, making the regulator's poor track record even worse.
ORG has presented amendments to remove barriers to bring complaints to the ICO and allow for collective action.
