Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps are being taken to ensure that cloud account holders who have given permission for their location data to be collected be given reminders every six months so that they have an opportunity to withdraw that permission.

The forthcoming Data Protection Bill will introduce a number of new rights and safeguards for individuals, including renewed rights on consent and the withdrawal of that consent, in particular circumstances. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) recently published draft guidance on consent under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The draft guidance can be found at: https://ico.org.uk/media/about-the-ico/consultations/2013551/draft-gdpr-consent-guidance-for-consultation-201703.pdf
