Anne-Marie Trevelyan - Boris Johnson's New Secretary of State for International Trade, is selling YOUR PRIVACY. We need your help to STOP HER.
In the Government's rush to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), UK privacy is back on the chopping block.
Much like trade deals with Japan and the US, the CPTPP's access to foreign markets comes with a steep price - the gutting of our hard won data protection laws.
The problem is that most CPTPP members have far lower privacy standards than the UK. They could use the agreement to force the UK to accept low privacy standards when your data is moved abroad.
That would mean that when your personal data flows to those countries, it would be defenseless. It could even lead to data passing from the UK to countries outside the CPTPP, turning the UK into a global data laundering hub.
The good news is that the UK can protect itself by adding extra "side letters".
But these changes must happen now, during negotiations. Once we join, it will be too late.
Take action today and sign the petition demanding that Anne-Marie Trevelyan and the UK Government stop selling out YOUR PRIVACY!
Dear Anne-Marie Trevelyan MP, Secretary of State for International Trade,
Don't trade our privacy rights for access to foreign markets. We call on you to obtain new enforceable guarantees that CPTPP will not be used to attack the UK's high privacy standards!
