Abstract

This chapter discusses how the data is entrusted to data controllers. However, the disconnection between data subject and data controller requires the data subject to trust their information to the paternalistic actions and oversight of the data controller that are the operational aspects of adherence to data protection legislation. But depending on the purpose for which the data is obtained or information surveilled, necessitates judicial oversight to prevent excessive or disproportionate use of surveillance powers that include the covert interception of data. The chapter further discusses the issues surrounding the conflicting demands of State Paternalism and Data.

Eventually, the UK will be beyond the jurisdiction of the ECJ when (assuming) the country leaves the EU, but the UK will still need to comply with EU law governing personal data and privacy, which has necessitated the Data Protection Act 2018.
