Hello Bomu.
Privacy, Consent and the Right to be forgotten. Personally, I would like
my data kept private unless I have given express permission in my will for
it to be accessed by a particular person or there is sufficient reason to
believe that access to the data would enhance some legal process. I would
further like the data to be held for a maximum of a decade after I am gone
after which it should be deleted. I would prefer if this was within the law
and not wait for interpretation.
Cheers
