This episode is part of our series of updated podcasts addressing security & privacy concerns resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and the shift in working practises for millions of businesses across the UK and the world.

In this episode, we are going discuss personal data in detail and explore the question of: whose data is it anyway? And what are we prepared to tolerate regarding track and trace programmes as governments around the world implement track and track apps. To discuss this we are delighted to have Phil Brown, The Norfolk Data Protection Mardler, who advices clients in Norfolk on data protection.

_Please note: Phil makes reference to the need for self reporting but would like to clarify that in the NHS Test and Trace scheme, an NHS Tracker will only contact individuals who have tested positive for Covid19. Whether someone should be tested at all is heavily dependent on self reporting. Furthermore, responses to a possible request to us to identify those with whom we may have had recent close contact is based on our ‘civic duty’ rather than a legal requirement - so it’s very much down to our willingness or judgment to do so.
