The “right to data protection” is found in Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (and Article 16(1) of “The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union”). The three parts to Article 8 state:

1. “Everyone has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her”.

2. “Such data must be processed fairly for specified purposes and on the basis of the consent of the person concerned or some other legitimate basis laid down by law. Everyone has the right of access to data which has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it rectified.

3. Compliance with these rules shall be subject to control by an independent authority.

Therefore the Audit Commission should stop creating via its secret on line Audit Guide National Roll Out Guidelines data which is not accurate, not fair and is highly prejudicial.
