Allí el IS-IS todavía mide el tiempo para luchar compartir de los datos

La comisión de la información tiene razón ser tratado sobre la proliferación de compartir de los datos. Desafortunadamente, se coloca mal la idea que los riesgos pueden ser atenuados si solamente la gente está enterada de las sus derechas. El peligro más grande es la noción del “gobierno transformacional”. Ésta es la fuerza impulsora detrás del esquema nacional de la identidad que exigirá la creación de un registro nacional extenso de la identidad, diseñado específicamente para ayudar a separar datos más extensamente.

New passport applicants are being summoned to attend the interrogation centre in Blythswood House where, as well as facing the prospect of having biometric data scanned and recorded, they are confronted with personal dossiers compiled from a host of databases. The main purpose of these interrogations is to tidy up existing databases to aid the creation of a national register.

It is not sufficient that we know our rights. As far as the government is concerned, we have none. The Data Protection Act does not prevent the government from sharing data whenever it believes that to be in the public interest. What government department ever believes any of its actions are not in the public interest? We must all take responsibility for protecting our personal data, but that requires that we learn to say no when asked for too much information unnecessarily. We should prepare to say no when summoned to participate in national identity registration. We can start by writing to our elected representatives and telling them that we intend to refuse to participate.
