It rather assumes you could enforce them. Those rights will be great against a responsible outfit. But if the data is exposed in a breach, or if the outfit goes rogue (or if a future government decides to change the law and sell your data, as, by the way, the previous Conservatives tried to do), then you're lost.

What's the selling data you're talking about different to what I just described?

[dent9876543]

Heh. Perhaps not really that different at all.

I thought you may mean that the legal rights provide protection, so one need not worry until deidentification or detachment. Maybe your emphasis was same.

But for clarity, I think we need to worry long before deidentification and detachment — basically the Trusts are not to be trusted, and our legal rights will vanish in a heartbeat.
