Propose a change

Data Protection Act 2018

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

What to do with it
As published

SCHEDULE 9 Conditions for processing under Part 4

Section 86 1 The data subject has given consent to the processing. 2 The processing is necessary— (a) for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or (b) in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract. 3 The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, other than an obligation imposed by contract. 4 The processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another individual. 5 The processing is necessary— (a) for the administration of justice, (b) for the exercise of any functions of either House of Parliament, (c) for the exercise of any functions conferred on a person by an enactment or rule of law, (d) for the exercise of any functions of the Crown, a Minister of the Crown or a government department, or (e) for the exercise of any other functions of a public nature exercised in the public interest by a person. 6 (1) The processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by— (a) the controller, or (b) the third party or parties to whom the data is disclosed. (2) Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply where the processing is unwarranted in any particular case because of prejudice to the rights and freedoms or legitimate interests of the data subject. (3) In this paragraph, “third party”, in relation to personal data, means a person other than the data subject, the controller or a processor or other person authorised to process personal data for the controller or processor.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
