          <p style="font-size: 18px; text-align: left; line-height:
            1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The DPBill is the
            implementation of the EU’s General Data Protection
            Regulation which should be in place across the EU Member
            States by May 2018.</p>
          <p style="font-size: 18px; text-align: left; line-height:
            1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The new Bill will make changes
            to consent given to data collecting and processing allowing
            only unticked opt-in boxes to signify it. It will also place
            restrictions on children consenting to data collection and
            processing without parental authorisation under a certain
            age. Other changes will include the right to have one’s data
            be “erased” in certain circumstances, changes to
            notifications of data subjects affected by data breaches.
            The Bill deals with law enforcement and implements the new
            EU requirements for data protection law in this area.</p>
          <p style="font-size: 18px; text-align: left; line-height:
            1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">The Bill will allow individual
            data subjects to bring complaints to the Information
            Commissioner’s Office if their data has not been processed
            in compliance with the law and demand compensation from data
            controllers.</p>
          <p style="font-size: 18px; text-align: left; line-height:
            1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Section 173 of the Bill allows
            data subjects to designate a body or other organisation
            (which meet specific criteria) to exercise certain rights on
            their behalf. The GDPR provided a derogation to the Member
            States to allow organisations raise complaints on data
            processing without a named data subject. The UK decided not
            to implement this option.</p>
          <p style="font-size: 18px; text-align: left; line-height:
            1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">This approach to data
            protection policy will stop many dubious or harmful data
            processing practices from being investigated. Affected data
            subjects may often wish not to have their names publicly
            associated with certain companies. In many cases, they will
            not realise they have been affected.</p>
          <p style="font-size: 18px; text-align: left; line-height:
            1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">In such situations, an

              moz-do-not-send="true">Government’s response</a>(pdf), the
            Minister for Countering Extremism, Baroness Williams of
            Trafford, said that there should be a presumption that
            police will remove the custody image from their database
            unless there is an exceptional reason for it to be retained.
            The Minister said that this strikes a reasonable balance
            between privacy and public protection.</p>
          <p style="font-size: 18px; text-align: left; line-height:

            that the private sector has been increasingly using the
            biometrics to develop big data and that it is possible for
            the government to do so as well. The Government’s response
            indicated that they will push a Biometrics strategy that
            will address these issues.</p>

            several security concerns regarding the coerced scanning of
            user’s facial features. Apple employed several security
            measures, for example not allowing access to the phone if
            user’s eyes are closed. However, in various circumstances,
            users could still be forced to have their faces scanned.</p>
          <p style="font-size: 18px; text-align: left; line-height:

            troublesome for iPhone users when police want to gain access
            to the device. The law is likely to treat biometric
            information differently to passcodes and the users might
