They involved very large scale and often novel processing of special category personal data by public authorities, as well as by a number of third parties—some of which were based in the US, with its far lower data protection standards. Sharing data with Palantir, in particular, could give predatory private researchers and pharmaceutical companies access to sensitive public health data for profit, says the ORG.
The ORG is calling for the government to scrap the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill which, it says, would weaken data subjects’ rights, water down accountability requirements, further reduce the independence of the ICO, and hand undemocratic power over data protection to the Secretary of State.
The ICO, meanwhile, should audit government departments to ensure proper data governance, exert stronger enforcement mechanisms and develop solid systems for oversight during future emergencies."The ICO's priority during the pandemic was to ensure organizations understood how data protection law could facilitate action at a time of emergency," it says in a statement.
