Worrying: got a report that a certain council is harvesting data of children from nurseries without even provision for parents to opt out.

@aral Data Protection Act would be your starting point. All manner of exclusions but this will get you going: https://www.gov.uk/data-protection/the-data-protection-act … -
@mattgreenuk Thanks — that’s also what I mentioned to the person who reported it to me. Good to have validation :)

@aral If it’s anonymous, so nothing personally identifiable, then ought to be fine. -
@grahamguy What if it involves birth certificates? -
@aral Then that’s personally identifiable, and is tightly regulated under the data protection act.
