Thank-you Hedrick!
Over the years I have found "El Reg" to be informative and (in the good old days of Dabsy & "Post Pub Grub", etc, i.e. before they were taken over by BoringTech Inc.) entertaining.
As a non-techie, I am baffled as to why the default for any org requiring personal data is not "put it into a separate container and lock it away - even electronically".
Why does the ICO enforce this as a rule? Why do our politicians not make laws explicitly requiring such? Why, because they are all c*rr&pt, so dare not upset the big data vacuumers for fear of losing another directorship?
Next time that anyone dare send me a hypocritical reminder to be careful of my personal data, I will forward it on to HM Gov to remind them that THEY need to be taking care of my personal data.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
