I may have foretold this in an article I wrote last week.
"Certain types of sensitive personal data are subject to additional protection under the GDPR. These are listed under Article 9 of the GDPR as “special categories” of personal data. The special categories are:
Personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin.
Political opinions.
Religious or philosophical beliefs.
Trade union membership.
Genetic data and biometric data processed for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person.
Data concerning health.
Data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation.
Processing of these special categories is prohibited, except in limited circumstances set out in Article 9 of the GDPR.
According to that same government resource the above list of data that cannot be processed unless it follows the rules set out here:
Lawful basis for processing personal data
In order to process personal data you must have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful grounds for processing personal data are set out in Article 6 of the GDPR. These are:
The consent of the individual;
Performance of a contract;
Compliance with a legal obligation;
Necessary to protect the vital interests of a person;
Necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest; or
In the legitimate interests of company/organisation (except where those interests are overridden by the interests or rights and freedoms of the data subject).
From the above excerpts it is crystal clear that the following two conditions qualify the theorised practice of gathering and sharing such lists, as illegal:
A: Political Opinions are protected
B: Sharing the knowledge of an individual’s PO’s in such a secret fashion, or any fashion, goes against the consent of the individual, does not comply with the legal obligations of the relevant data processor/handler, and fundamentally puts the vital interests of the individual in danger."
Emailed City Link. Not sure how this could be legal.
