Video interviews are not exactly fool proof are they?

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Did they not also suffer a serious breach a couple of years ago?

It's really depends on the culture of the organisation collecting the data. If they have the right policies and procedures for retaining and securing the data, for me it does make a difference if its on paper or digital.

You can already do all of that today. And marketing, which is what you seem to be concerned about, really falls under PECR .

Not even big multi national companies can negotiate with the likes of Google and Amazon, so you'll find that everyone is in the same boat. It sounds to me like you have either been badly advised or have not gotten proper advice on the GDPR requirements. Happy to chat further if you wish. Just dm me

And if you process low risk personal data like names/email addresses, you may never need to notify a data subject. Companies like the one you got the article from are trying to sell you something so of course they'll include as much as they can on the list.

Don't take everything you read online as gospel, as a small business you can do without more than half of these documents and still comply with the requirements of the regulation. There is for example no where in the GDPR that requires you to have a consent form or even a breach notification form.

Actually, the law requires you to keep a suppression list so that you know not to contact a person who doesn't want to be marketed to. Furthermore, the right to erasure is only absolute when it comes to direct marketing.

GDPR is only a barrier if you are check box ticking. Compliance with it improves security, builds trust and enables companies to win business. Let stop using GDPR as an excuse for bad practice.

The privacy paradox that. Many people complain about companies misusing their data and yet are unwilling to take even the smallest steps like rejecting cookies.

And how about those people who for one reason or another do not have a device to access this 'digital pass'?
