, 12th May 2010] It's a bright, sunny morning. Finally, we have a new government. I'm excited. I've a strong sense that a Conservative-Liberal coalition could be the best possible election outcome for the UK: a strong economic coupled with a commitment to overturn the inefficiencies and centralisation of 13 years of Labour, but tempered by the humility and introspection that will be forced upon the government by the Liberal Democrat influence. This could work really well if they commit to collaborating. But what should they now do about privacy, identity and consent? No Comments | Views: 348 |

DVLA Loses Details of 3m Drivers |
|
Monday, 17 December 2007 |
|
[Toby Stevens] The Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency has admitted the loss of 3m drivers' details . Whilst the data itself is claimed to not be as sensitive as that lost in the HMRC incident, it is certainly another humiliating blow for public confidence in government processing of personal information. With the HMRC incident, the real issue was why were the unencrypted CDs allowed to exist in the first place? In this case, the question that springs to mind is what were the details of 3m British drivers doing on a hard disc in a facility in Iowa? And had any form of risk assessment been conducted at all? I guess this will provide yet more work for the O'Donnell/Thomas/Walport reviews...

HMRC Values Public Data at £20,000 |
|
Wednesday, 05 December 2007 |
|
[Toby Stevens] HMRC has offered staff a £20,000 reward for finding and returning the missing child benefit data discs. One wonders who is advising them on how to handle this situation; whilst the bounty is there to motivate staff to have another look, it's an insult to the data subjects who have been affected, and shows a spectacular lack of consideration for public opinion. Like many, I believe the CDs have been lost by someone - the idea that organised crime could arrange this seems implausible - but offering a small reward is just daft. Comments (1) | Views: 1073 |
