🤔 Sorry, the breach of 143m people’s data #equifax does not make today a good day to be a DPO. It’s a day when potentially 143m people will
will be concerned and anxious. They’ll be starting a journey that may last years or their lifetime in seeking to address the impact
of “identity theft” as which can have adverse impacts on multiple dimensions of their lives. It’s not a good day to be a DPO. It’s a bad day
For 143million people. It’s a bad day for the #equifax DPO if they have one. It’s a day we realise that the data hoovered up by equifax
And other ‘licensed credit reference agencies’ and data brokers, is often obtained by without due transparency, and the active choice and
control of individuals (who are not the ‘customers’ of #equifax etc) & a day when policy makers and regulators need to reconsider the legal
frameworks that permit such vast stores of data to be hoovered up, to reconsider the rights of individuals to be compensated and receive
genuine assistance when their data is compromised. It’s a day when regulatory enforcement agencies need to decide on the most powerful
sanctions they can use to send a message & remind companies like equifax that they have a huge responsibility and legal obligation to
to adopt effective security measures and damn well test them and ensure they’re effective and remain effective. Thank goodness the GDPR
Requires that at least!!

1/ I note the issues around the conservative party conference app .. BUT OMG! I took a peek at the Conservative Campaigner app - "the official mobile app for supporters of The Conservative Party” and OH BOY …
2/ the app was developed by Social Political Media, the same entity behind the anti-abortion apps LoveBoth & MY8 used in the Irish referendum on abortion, .. but Social Political Media also developed the …. Vote Leave app, the Trump-Pence 2016 app, the French Renaissance app
and the same ‘developer’ is behind the NRA’s official app. Oh boy.

Yep, the UK @Conservatives official campaign app is developed by a US based political campaigning app platform UCampaign ucampaignapp.com

OK need to go make Son’s supper - back soon. and Oh boy

An NHS app intended to get people from ‘couch to 5k’.

“Analytics and Advertising tracking SDKs. As these features are critical to Our ability to provide users with free, high quality mobile applications it is not possible to opt out from tracking features.” < WTH! No. No. No.
I don’t have time to go through this at the mo .. but I will, given that family has asked me “is it ok from a privacy perspective? .. it is the NHS after all.” <visions of #HanCocksApp
“We are also working closely with third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors, delivery services, analytics providers, search information providers) and may receive information about you from them” <much to dig into

Ohh look @DPCIreland look at the term ‘consent’ in the URL. Now let’s consider consent under the GDPR, I know. In know. It’s not really consent
Ooh. Choice. Not really. Take it or leave it says Facebook
Facebook Terms first. I’m sure the majority of people will be able to immediately comprehend the suite of Facebook Products .. and Business Tools that they are ageeeing to 🤔

April 13. Bulgarian Presidency updated working dc on the #ePrivacy Regulation. data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/S…

"recital 21 now provides an example where making access to a website conditional on the acceptance of cookies is not considered justified"
But much to review and .. hmmmm

"Access to specific website content may still be made conditional on the well-informed acceptance of the storage of a cookie or similar device identifier, if it is used for a legitimate purpose ,,"
“… This will for example not be the case of a cookie which is recreated after the deletion by the end-user."

So @AskLloydsBank is using legitimate interests under the GDPR to seek consent to contact customers 🤔
It’s one of the most confusing updates I’ve seen. What precisely is LloydsBank relying on for ‘consent’ and what for ‘legitimate interests’ for marketing/direct marketing/product development for example? #GDPR
Many other things are wrong. Its of ‘please contact us’ but no hyperlink with info on how/mechanism to contact.

Oooh 👀
whoah! OMG. You’d think the Digital Minister and one responsible for data protection package would get privacy right.
1/ Hold me twitter. Here goes. (1) no Privacy Policy on the App landing page which doesn't meet Apples guidelines (2) The app is promoted as the 'Official App for Matt Hancock' but the 'seller' is Disciple Media Ltd (3) Individuals must tick to 'accept' a Privacy Policy and ToS
