Thinking about the apparently everyday and certainly scandalous actions
coming to light creates what appears as a useful paradox to consider.
If the DPA does not apply to the deceased, what happens in those cases
where a data subject is not known to be dead… does the DPA apply to a
data subjects personal data until some acceptable level of confirmation
of death is received?
Is any non-compliance with the DPA between when
a data subject actually dies, and is confirmed to have died actionable
under the DPA, or is any non-compliance, during that period of time not
an actionable breach under the DPA but only indicative of non-complaint
common processes across all the organizational areas having any
responsibility for the data subjects data and hence actionable anyway.
