UK privacy laws are fundamentally flawed
UK laws fail to uphold individuals' privacy rights and must be reformed, a report commissioned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has said.
Individuals' right to privacy is guaranteed in the European Convention on Human Rights and in UK law by the Human Rights Act.
UK laws have a "weak, fractured and piecemeal approach to privacy", researchers Charles Raab and Benjamin Goold said in the EHRC-commissioned report. Growing public and private sector demand for personal information is putting citizens' rights at risk, they said.
"The existing approach to the protection of information privacy in the UK is fundamentally flawed, and that there is a pressing need for widespread legislative reform in order to ensure that the rights contained in [the European Convention on Human Rights] are respected," the researchers' report (105-page / 733KB PDF) said.
