If the information is passed to third parties, it could gain inaccuracies along the way. Also, part of data protection was the right to access and correct inaccurate information held. No one will know who has their data, whether it is accurate, and how long it may be held by third parties. Even without addressing the issue of what constitutes 'legitimate interest', this legislation, rather than strengthening data protection and privacy appears to be weakening it.
