Introduce legislation safeguarding financial access & personal data rights
Enact legislation to establish a national financial and personal data retention policy (max 18 months for unproven/low-severity fraud markers); prohibit use of financial fraud data for non-core sectors insurance, job screening etc; create a tribunal to challenge POCA-constrained de-banking evidence.
Introduce laws for Mandatory Tiered Data Retention (1) and Statutory Purpose Restriction on data sharing (2) to prevent 'purpose creep' into employment/insurance. Establish a tribunal with Judicial Review type powers with statutory privilege to scrutinise POCA-constrained evidence for de-banking filings, to ensure due process without tipping off (3). We ask the Government to amend legislation to expand the FCA's powers to enforce Consumer Duty on data.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
