This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Stop the Plans for HMRC to share data with third parties.
More details
HMRC are planning to sell access to sensitive data collected by them to third parties. This goes against the rights of the individuals who have no choice but to provide that data. These individuals have not been consulted on these plans, neither have they been given the option to opt out of said plans. Where individuals are expected to provide details as part of a legal framework, this data should be held securely and without compromise. The plans to sell this data to interested parties goes against this premise. As such, It should be stopped now and any future plans shelved.
