Breaching the GDPR

 

Early train from Euston, just a croissant and two teas

Didn't get to eat last night

Who today will I see pleading on their knees
Liz, I had a dreadful fright
I've breached the GDPR
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
Breaching the GDPR

 

Been away so long I barely know the place
BC, it's good to be back home
Don't make me pack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I'm fed up with the GDPR’s ploys
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
Breaching the GD

Breaching the GD

Breaching the GDPR

Well paid lawyers really knock me out
Leaving my team far behind
Privacy geeks make me scream and shout
Max Schrems is always on my my my my my my my mind
Oh, come on
Will I miss you when I’ve gone
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm fed up with the GDPR’s ploys
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
Breaching the GDPR

 

Show me your spreadsheets – all objectives coloured green 
Despite your breach there’s not a red box to be seen
You’re good at compliance – almost visionary
Let them off the hook, a fine isn’t necessary

Walking to the station, need a sandwich and a tea

Shouldn’t get so uptight 
I guess they don’t really care much for me
Wilmslow is not a delight
I’m done with the GDPR’s ploys
Hey, you don't know how lucky you are, boys
Stuff the GDPR

Adequacy

 

In data protection law, transfers of personal data must be safeguarded by written contracts between the parties. If the personal data is transferred from the EU to a country which the European Commission has not been recognised as having adequate data protection standards, special clauses, known as SCCs are usually inserted in these contracts. In July 2020, a decision by the European Court of Justice made it virtually impossible for companies to determine whether the SCCs must be supplemented by additional clauses to ensure the personal data is appropriately protected.

 

From the beginning of 2021, the UK Government will have the ability to make it easier for UK data exporters to know what the UK’s data protection rules are. This ode assumes that the UK Government will rise to the challenge.  

 

My my
At Waterloo, Max Shrems we didn’t surrender
Oh yeah
And we will meet our destiny in quite a cunning way
The statute book on our shelf
Is always repeating itself

Adequacy – You were defeated, we won the war
Adequacy - Promise to love us for ever more
Adequacy - Couldn't escape if you wanted to
Adequacy - Knowing our fate is to be with you
Adequacy - Finally facing your Waterloo

 

My my
Noyb tried to hold us back, but we were stronger
Oh yeah
And now it seems your only chance is giving up the fight
How could you ever refuse
Shouldn’t claim that you win when you lose

Adequacy – We are the ones that will make it clear
Adequacy – Saying the words they all want to hear
Adequacy – Contracting with us is such a breeze
Adequacy – Doing away with SCCs
Adequacy - Finally facing your Waterloo

 

How could you ever refuse
Shouldn’t claim that you win when you lose
