Tim,
Surely this represents a cavernous legal loophole.
1) Any business may alter its terms of trading, which must surely include
its privacy policy, at any time, and with whatever notice it deems
appropriate
The law (and our esteemed Regulator) educates data subjects about their
rights, cajoles them into reading interminable privacy polices,
congratulates them on making 'informed decisions' at the time their data is
obtained but then allows the absolute erosion of those rights by not
requiring 'informed consent' beyond the initial point of obtaining.
This is clearly not about what is right and wrong - that's obvious to most I
hope - but perhaps another example of failure to 'join up' the legislation.
Regards,
Duncan S Smith
