Well that’s OK then, isn’t it? Nice to see the UK government is taking all appropriate steps to ensure that biometric data of its citizens is being protected. In this case a UK tribunal found that as a foreign company that services foreign clients, using foreign IP address and in support of public interest national security and criminal law enforcements Clearview does not fall under UK GDPR. It is allowed to collect and store the personal data belonging to UK citizens, without their agreement. Clearview is a company that sells data to U.S law enforcement agencies.

Yet the company has been fined by France, Italy and Greece under EU GDPR. It has refused to pay fines and has been held in breech of court orders.

The UK government seems to be allowing the personal data of its citizens to be collected and stored by a foreign government.
