The data protection regulator said it had now issued an enforcement notice and a warning to the Home Office over the pilot, which orders the department to update its privacy policies and warns that data collection on a similar basis would spark enforcement action by the regulator.
The Home Office did not assess those risks sufficiently, which means the pilot scheme was not legally compliant. The ICO highlighted that the department failed to explain the necessity of collecting location data and lacked clarity in informing individuals about data usage.
