EU gives personal data to the US
Under an agreement the European Union are about to give US law enforcement and security agencies information about all of the citizens of the EU community and that includes all UK citizens too!
This agreement will allow the US agencies to access information regarding what we spend out money on, where we have travelled before and even our internet surfing and emailing habits. This information can be accessed through this agreement.
The problem is that if this is a government agreement then there is not really much that we can do about it, but what is going to cause problems is the actual accessing and transferring of the details. More importantly is what happens to this information when it arrives in the states, do they keep it or destroy it?
