"NHS will keep personal data of people with coronavirus for 20 years

Information including name, date of birth and contact details are collected as part of UK test-and-trace programme"

Wow! Without permission! Applies to track and trace *contacts* too. theguardian.com/world/2020/may…
In other words, if someone reports you as a t-and-t contact, the NHS will store all the juicy data it can find on you for 20 years.

I foresee people slamming the phone down on NHS track-and-trace call centre workers.
"Friends don't let friends get their data slurped by Big Brother government."
And what happens if life insurers get hold of the data? Will they refuse or limit coverage for people who've had/been suspected of having COVID-19? After all, we know that there can be long-term health repercussions.

Ditto private health insurance, travel insurance etc.
