Why could they not have set out the requirements on the treatment of data in legislation, instead of requiring everyone to have a policy, and instead of having a privacy notice for every organisation, why don't they set out the principles in an annex?
It's a very large sledgehammer to crack a very small nut, actually, and it's yet another example of how much worse the red tape is within the EU.
...And don't get me started on the Acquired Rights Directive!

It all makes good sense to me. The world changes with technology and yes that means more legislation. Sorry, that's progress, we can't freeze ourselves in the 1970s as much as JC and other Brexiters would like us to.
But compared to the red tape that dealing with countries when outside the EU will entail, we've got it easy now.
