Data Sharing Without Consent? What the 2025 Act Allows

Описание: Your personal data is now more shareable than ever and you might not even be asked. The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 is now law in the UK.
It gives public bodies, researchers, and government departments new powers to access and share your data, including health records, smart meter data, school files, and even biometric information like fingerprints.
This video breaks down what the law actually allows, who it affects most, and why critics are calling it one of the biggest privacy overhauls in years.

🔍 Key questions covered:
• What kind of personal data can now be shared without consent?
• Who can access it and for what reasons?
• What are "Henry VIII powers" and why are they so controversial?
• How is artificial intelligence (AI) involved in this new law?

📌 This affects:
Parents • NHS users • Social services clients • Digital platform users • Researchers • Council staff • Anyone living in the UK
