This appears to be flawed on so many levels. Here's a couple.<BR/><BR/>IF the guv wants that data, we must be informed that the data and our 'movements' within that site will be monitored and sent to a third party. We would have to agree to this before they can send our data anywhere (think of the little tick boxes on any site that you sign up to)<BR/><BR/>IF the guv wants the data from the UK they would have to find a way of separating the UK participants from the rest of the world on aforementioned sites. There probably could be some way of doing this by looking where you sign on from. However, by the same token, any good IT person can probably find a way around this. They cannot take data from a participant in another country. In fact, I would really enjoy sitting back and watching the fireworks if they tried. We may think that we have strict DP rules but other countries are even more strict.<BR/><BR/>Possibly another good example of someone not practising their joined up thinking again? They actually pay people to come up with these stupid ideas and then publish them before they think them through?????<BR/><BR/>Or maybe it is just me who is the stupid one for expecting them to follow the same rules as the rest of us.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969767902477233674noreply@blogger.com
