The personal information, including names, zip codes, phone numbers and email addresses, will be held by government bodies for up to 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>But Public Health England, the agency overseeing the system in England, confirmed to POLITICO that it had yet to complete a so-called data protection impact assessment \u2014 a mandatory requirement under U.K. law \u2014 before the system started on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPublic Health England, supported by the NHS Business Services Authority, is preparing a data protection impact assessment for the NHS Test and Trace system,\u201d Julia Thompson, a spokeswoman, said in a statement. It \u201cexpects to publish this shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under U.K law, such an assessment, detailing the potential privacy concerns of collecting reams of peoples sensitive data, is obligatory and must be completed before data collection begins. It has to be submitted to the countrys privacy watchdog for review.<\/p>\n<p>Ravi Naik, a data rights lawyer who has been critical of the governments contact-tracing plans, told POLITICO the failure to carry out the assessment before data collection had raised concerns that U.K. authorities had not fully addressed the potential privacy implications. It could also open up the contact-tracing system to potential legal challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they have deployed the system without considering those risks, that is a problem and may further undermine efforts to get people to take part in the system,\u201d he said in reference to the U.K. government. \u201cConfidence and trust is key. Missteps like this will only lose public trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under U.K. rules, companies and government agencies can face fines of up to 4 percent of annual revenues if they mishandle peoples data.
