Stonewall GDPR possible breach?

[numptynuts]

I'm not teccy so anyone understand what this may mean?

It has the potential to be a substantial issue. Much will depend on how this has been set up, who is the data controller, if they have an agreed system with any 3rd party processors etc.

For me, they're dodging a lot of issues because the form was ludicrous enough not to specify age limits - the identifying data around children and consent issues are substantially greater.

Yes I think don't you have to be 13 before you are the owner of your own data?

For various reasons, and I may be wrong, it's hugely complicated with children because the accepted age, and who has the status of responsible adult for them, varies from one country to another. And, GDPR governs you wherever you are in the world if your data is being collected/processed elsewhere.

It will also depend on whether the children are sharing identifiable biographical and medical data (and, from the directions that Olli gave in his video, I'd say, 'Yes').

Given that they re-tweeted Olli's video, I think Stonewall are on very dodgy ground if they process some of those responses that are from children - I don't care if the notional responsible adults added in statements of authority (and I doubt that they did).

Sorry, going to completely miss the point of the thread here, if I know GC children/teens should I tell them to fill this in or not? What age should be the cut off for drawing attention to the consultation?

I would seek clarity on that by contacting the Equalities Office.

It would also depend on who the children's responsible adult is etc. and whether or not everybody understands the issue of consent.
