Actually...I always thought that the US had better privacy laws than the
UK. In this instant, I am obviously wrong. In the UK, there is a law known
as the Data Protection Act. This restricts usage of information kept on a
computer to the company which gathered the information and the purpose for
which it was gathered unless the person about whom the information is has
given specific permission (in practice, it is generally assumed that
permission has been given to release certain information, like postal
addresses, unless the individual says otherwise). Also, the individual has
a right to know about and see the contents of all information kept on them
unless it is covered by the Official Secrets Act (i.e., unless it is a
matter of national security, only normally relevant for those in the
military). Sounds like the US should take a leaf out of our book on this
one.
